Question

what happens when the sun emits more energy than normal?
solar flares and sunspots occur, increasing earths temperature.
sunspots and volcanic eruptions occur, increasing earths temperature.
volcanic eruptions and movement of continents occur, decreasing earths temperature.
movement of continents and solar flares occurs, decreasing earths temperature.

Explanation:

Solar flares and sunspots are directly linked to increased solar energy output. Higher solar energy reaching Earth raises its surface temperature. Volcanic eruptions and continental movement are unrelated to solar energy emissions; volcanic eruptions can temporarily cool the planet, while continental movement affects climate over geologic time.

Answer:

A. Solar flares and sunspots occur, increasing Earth's temperature.
