Question

For a few hours, some satellites experienced electrical failure and at the same time, radio communications at high latitudes were also disrupted. Which is an astronomer most likely to predict was the cause?(1 point)

Responses

coronal mass ejections
coronal mass ejections

solar flares
solar flares

a geomagnetic storm
a geomagnetic storm

solar energetic particles

Answer 1

The most likely cause that an astronomer would predict for the electrical failure of satellites and disruption of radio communications at high latitudes would be a geomagnetic storm.

Answer 2

Which accurately describes solar weather? Choose the two correct answers.(1 point)

Responses

The intensity of solar weather is constant and unchanging.
The intensity of solar weather is constant and unchanging.

Solar flares and sunspots increase as solar minimum approaches.
Solar flares and sunspots increase as solar minimum approaches.

Solar flares and sunspots increase as solar maximum approaches.
Solar flares and sunspots increase as solar maximum approaches.

The intensity of solar weather changes frequently.

Answer 3

The two correct answers are:

1. Solar flares and sunspots increase as solar maximum approaches.
2. The intensity of solar weather changes frequently.

Answer 4

The astronomer is most likely to predict that a geomagnetic storm was the cause of the electrical failures in satellites and disruptions in radio communications at high latitudes.
