Question

which describes a difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm? select the three correct answers. (2 points) solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind. geomagnetic storms are associated with cmes; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun. geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant. geomagnetic storms are constant; solar wind occurs only occasionally. geomagnetic storms travel at the speed of light, while solar wind takes four days to reach earth.

Explanation:

Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged - particles from the sun's outer atmosphere. Geomagnetic storms are disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere caused by solar wind interactions, often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Solar wind is constant, while geomagnetic storms are occasional. Solar wind can trigger geomagnetic storms, not the other way around.

Answer:

• Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.
• Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun.
• Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.
