Question

which prediction is most likely to happen due to solar energetic particles during a solar radiation storm? (1 point)

radio navigation and gps systems will be inaccurate.

power will go out in cities across the world.

satellites will need to be repositioned due to satellite drag.

radio communications at high latitudes will be blocked.

Explanation:

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) from solar radiation storms interfere with radio signals and satellite-based navigation systems. GPS and radio navigation rely on stable signal transmission, which SEPs disrupt by ionizing the upper atmosphere, causing signal inaccuracies. Global power outages are linked to coronal mass ejections (not SEPs specifically), satellite drag is from increased atmospheric density due to solar heating, and high-latitude radio blockage is more associated with geomagnetic storms affecting the ionosphere in those regions.

Answer:

Radio navigation and GPS systems will be inaccurate.
