Question

how does solar weather affect earths magnetosphere? select the two correct answers. (1 point)

• it causes geomagnetic storms.
• it develops solar wind.
• it generates auroras.
• it forms radiation belts.

Explanation:

Solar weather, like coronal mass ejections and solar flares, interacts with Earth's magnetosphere. Geomagnetic storms are directly triggered by these solar disturbances impacting the magnetosphere. Auroras form when charged particles from solar weather follow the magnetosphere's magnetic field lines to polar regions and collide with atmospheric particles. Solar wind is a constant solar outflow, not an effect on the magnetosphere, and radiation belts are a permanent feature of the magnetosphere, not caused by solar weather.

Answer:

A. It causes geomagnetic storms.
C. It generates auroras.
