Question

question 10
solar flares pose multiple threats to modern technological infrastructure. according to the text, which of the following is not mentioned as a direct impact of solar flares?
○ interference with submarine communication cables
○ deposition of excess energy on power grids causing failures
○ disruption of global positioning systems
○ corrosion of pipelines

Explanation:

Solar flares emit intense electromagnetic radiation and charged particles. These directly interfere with submarine cables, disrupt GPS systems, and induce excess currents in power grids causing failures. Pipeline corrosion is typically caused by chemical reactions with soil/water, not a direct impact of solar flares.

Answer:

Corrosion of pipelines
