Earth is often struck by solar eruptions, which
comprise energetic particles that arehurled
away from the Sun into space. Which of the
following statements reflect the effect on
earth? 1. When these eruptions interact with
the magnetic field, they cause beautiful
auroras. 2. They breakdown radio
communication and power supplies. 3. They
don't affect life support system on earth.
A) 1 only
B) 1 and 2 only
C) 2 and 3 only
D) 3 only

Answer:
C) 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
2. They breakdown radio
communication and power supplies. 3. They
don't affect life support system on earth.
Answer:
The correct answer to the given answer is found to be option B) 1 and 2 only.
Explanation:
The solar eruptions or solar flares are caused by the explosions and disturbances caused on the Sun's surface. They bombard Earth's atmosphere with high energy projections but most of this energy is projected backwards by Earth's magnetic field. However this energy does shower the radio and satellite communication with high radiation and electromagnetic waves. This causes the radio communication and power grids to disrupt due to increased Electromagnetic activity. Also, the effect includes the formation of Auroras as they are formed by the electron's projected by the sun and their interaction with the Earth's magnetic field.
Thus, the correct statements are (1) When these eruptions interact with the magnetic field, they cause beautiful auroras and (2) They breakdown radio communication and power supplies.
