Sunspots, Prominences, Flames And Coronal Mass Ejections

1575 Words7 Pages

Abstract
A diversity of eruptions of energy and mass emerging from solar surfaces produced what we know as Solar Flames. The common indications of solar activity are sunspots, prominences, flames and coronal mass ejections which also includes plages and other linked phenomena seen at different wavelengths. All these engage in the sudden discharging of stored magnetic energy, which in turn accelerates the hot gases in the corona or near the surface of the sun. In some occasions, these particles reach all the ways towards earth and even beyond it by flowing alongside with the Sun’s magnetic field. These charged particles can form their own magnetic field and affect compass readings, induce electricity in long pipelines, and produce electrical …show more content…

So it’s typical to conclude that there’s a correlation between the frequency of flares and the amount of sunspots. Such situations usually occur during periods of active sun and brought by the blended movement of solar material near the surface of the sun. Coronal Mass Ejections

Coronal Mass Ejection or CME is a huge eruption of magnetized plasma from the Sun’s corona or outer atmosphere that is released outwards towards space. It is known that CME is formed by explosive reconfigurations of solar magnetic fields through the process of magnetic reconnection, but its exact creation methods is yet to be understood (4).

We have fast CME’s drive that causes shocks in the solar wind and causes the most intense geomagnetic storm on earth. The main driver causes the geomagnetic storm to cause disturbances in the earth’s atmosphere that have important impact on both the surface and the atmosphere based technologies.

CME travels through space along with the sun’s solar flare causing, as said before, great impact on our earth’s space

(Bjornsson, 2013) With a similar setup as Faraday they passed a magnet through a cardboard tube that had wire wrapped around it. As more loops were added more current was shown on a galvanometer. They tested Faraday’s process and proved it to be correct.

Starburst were created in 1960 in the United Kingdom and were originally called Opal Fruits. Five years later they entered the U.S. under the name we know them as now. Starburst have been around for many years. They are hard, chewy, and colorful. Kids love the because of the color, teens love them because of the juicy flavors.

The asthenosphere is making convection currents. Since the convection currents are always moving it causes the asthenosphere to move and bend because it is ductile. When the asthenosphere moves which is under the tectonic plates it will cause an earthquake or more specifically the Alaskan Way

Melting glaciers is the cause of global warming leading to floods, diseases and human health. The rate of migration and uneven of the economy has been increasing because of climate change. This will create the different of region and culture but also controversy and terrorists will take advantage of migration to put U.S security at risk of being attacked. An example of religious conflict and the spreading out of contagious diseases is the floods in Bangladesh have sent hundreds of thousands of refugees to India. In United State, hurricane Andrew in Florida (1992) destroyed the Home State Air Force Base and caused $26 billion damage cost.

The Carrington Event, also known as the Solar Storm of 1859, is the largest geomagnetic solar storm in recorded history, resulting from a coronal mass ejection; a massive surge of magnetized plasma originating from the Sun’s surface on the morning of September 1st, 1859. As the mass of plasma hit the Earth’s magnetosphere mere hours after the event had occurred on the Sun’s surface, southern aurorae were seen as far north as Queensland, Australia, and the aurora borealis was powerful enough that residents of the north-eastern US could read a newspaper by the aurora’s light. The solar storm ravaged the primitive telegraph communication system used in 1859, and caused damage to electrical grids worldwide. CAUSES The Carrington Event was caused by a massive burst of electromagnetic radiation, magnetized gas and plasma released into the solar wind by the Sun’s corona in a phenomenon called a coronal mass ejection (CME).

Changes occurring in the sun itself can affect the climate change on Earth. The intensity of the sunlight reaching the Earth can cause either warming or cooling. The sun flows a natural 11 year cycle of small ups and downs in intensity, but the effect of it on the Earth’s climate is negligible. However, over the past years, the sun’s intensity has been lower than the mid 20th century, and therefore does not explain the recent warming of the Earth. • Also

The story starts off with Lucy saying goodbye to her girlfriend, Luna. She then leaves for the airport, and meets the person she’s flying today, a Mister Grey. They shake hands, and board the plane. About 2 hours into the 4 hour flight, a geomagnetic storm occurs, and shuts down the entire plane. Lucy attempts to find a safe place to land the plane, but ends up crashing into the trees.

They have the same impact like secondary hazard. They are tsunamis, secondary hazard, that causes after the earthquake, tsunami had killed a lot of people and destroy area around there. The effect for Valdivia earthquake are too big so they’re traveled across to the Pacific Ocean and traveled along to the southern Chile, Hawaii, Philippine, Japan and etc, with the speed are over than 200 miles per hour. While the effect for Alaska is also big, that why this incident which is caused tsunami and massive landslides are also affect a lot in Canada to Hawaii.

Real Estate in Atlanta Located in the state of Georgia, the city of Atlanta is a hotspot for real estate investments. Atlanta has shown promising population growth and employment, which are two signs of a healthy real estate market. You can purchase turnkey rental properties in Atlanta for as low as $127,000. Comparing that to the national average, which is $152,000, that’s a pretty great deal!

Second reason that cause hurricane is the global warming, you might didn 't know that the climate change can lead to the storm and another natural disaster. According to a research of George Tselioudis, a research scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and Columbia University, global warming will increase and also decrease the temperature such as in the equator a temperature is hot and dry.
