What are magnetic storms?
There are no magnetic storms ON the Earth. What can happen is that if a major solar flare or coronal mass ejection strikes the Earth's magnetic field, it can cause an electromagnetic storm in the upper atmosphere. We see these as auroras; sort of God's own neon lights in the sky.
Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
We cannot hear the explosions from the sun as sound cannot travel through a vacuum, and the sound would have to travel through one to reach the Earth.
Are tornadoes the strongest storms on earth?
In terms of total energy output no. That title would probably go to hurricanes which are much bigger and longer lasting than tornadoes. However, tornadoes are the most intense storms on earth, with winds that can exceed 300 mph.
The planet that has massive dust storms?
Mars has massive dust storms. All of the dusts particles make sort of a tornado.The dust storms of Mars are even more impressive than the dust storms of Earth.
What region of the atmosphere where auroras occur?
They occur the northern atmospheres. Closer to the magnetic poles where the solar storms hit the earth the hardest.
Why do scientists want to predict solar winds in Earth's atmosphere?
Scientists want to predict solar winds in Earth's atmosphere to help them track geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms can disrupt the Earth's magnetosphere.
What are sudden disturbances in earth's magnetic field called?
Geomagnetic storms!
What is a Geomagnetic storms?
Geomagnetic storm occur after every 11 years.
Does earth's magnetic field touch the moon?
Yes , it does and. And it also creates a disturbance in nature of the moon's surface causing geomagnetic storms. ~BINDHU~
What is the difference between the magnetic poles and the geomagnetic poles?
The Geomagnetic poles (dipole poles) are the intersections of the Earth's surface and the axis of a bar magnet hypothetically placed at the center the Earth by which we approximate the geomagnetic field. There is such a pole in each hemisphere, and the poles are called as "the geomagnetic north pole" and "the geomagnetic south pole", respectively. On the other hand, the magnetic poles are the points at which magnetic needles become vertical. There also are "the magnetic north pole" and "the magnetic south pole". The geomagnetic or magnetic south (north) poles correspond to the N (S) -pole of a magnet.
Can magnetic storms send large pieces of debris into Earth?
Magnet storms can send huge amounts of debris at the earth. But these thousands of tons of material come at us as charged particles, and not "chunks" of "stuff" or the like. Remember that the sun is constantly spitting out millions of tons of particles, and this is the solar wind. And in the event of a huge release, the electrodynamics, the effect of the charged particles "swamping" the earth's magnet field creates magnetic storms in the earth's magnetosphere. The effects can even be felt on the surface of the earth, and show up as surges in power lines and the like. Satellites are vulnerable to a degree, and communications can be interrupted 'til the storm passes. A link to the Wikipedia article on geomagnetic storms is provided. Check it out.
How Earth is done?
Maybe by a volcanic explosions, because many scientists says the earth came from a giant volcanic explosions
What is the magnetic force of this planet called?
The magnetic force on Earth is called Earth's magnetic field or also the geomagnetic field.
What causes the earth's to slow in its orbit?
The moon. ________________ The Earth loses its kinetic energy due to all forms of friction acting on it (ie, tides, galactic space dust, solar wind, space weather, geomagnetic storms, etc). Because of this, there is an extra second added to the time it takes the Earth to fully spin roughly every 100 years.
Does the geomagnetic field changes slowly if it so then does it effects the axial tilt of the earth?
Earth's magnetic field has no effect on its axial tilt.
Do storms help keep the earth healthy?
The Earth is not healthy with storms because storm is electricty.
Global warming severity of weathert storms?
This is a simple matter of energy. As the Earth warms, it gains energy....which is all heat really is. As the Earth gains energy, the mechanisms behind storms (which can be extremely complicated) work to release this energy in an attempt to create a balance. More energy in the system will equal more energy released in storms. We can expect more powerful storms with increasing frequency if the Earth continues to warm.
