Question

practice 4
match each description on the right with the
corresponding feature of the sun on the left.
granules
sunspots
prominences
hot bursts of gas that often shoot
out and form loops
uneven appearance on the surface
of the sun caused by convection
within the convection zone
cooler spots that result from
magnetic storms

Explanation:

• Granules form from convection in the Sun's convection zone, creating an uneven surface pattern.
• Sunspots are cooler, darker regions driven by magnetic activity on the Sun's surface.
• Prominences are large, looping bursts of hot gas that extend from the Sun's surface.

Answer:

• Granules: Uneven appearance on the surface of the Sun caused by convection within the convection zone
• Sunspots: Cooler spots that result from magnetic storms
• Prominences: Hot bursts of gas that often shoot out and form loops
