The events of the Mass Ejection of Feb. 14-19 2011. Location: NW Arkansas
Mine and several others neighbors dogs began low intermittent howling from late day Feb. 14-16th.
Winds were light but shifting. Feb 15th my compass started making gradual movement- by am Feb. 16th the compass had shifted 22.5 degrees. Springs suddenly change output...some going dry.
Feb.17: Compass made erractic but gradual return to normal. Springs returned to normal flowing rate.

What else can I help you with?
How are solar flares and coronal mass ejections similar?
they can both be very disruptive to human activity on earth and in space
What are Bubbles if ionized gas emitted from the sun?
Solar bubbles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are massive bursts of ionized gas and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona. They can travel through space and interact with Earth's magnetic field, potentially leading to geomagnetic storms and disruptions to satellite communications.
What protects earth from coronal mass ejections?
Earth is protected from coronal mass ejections (CMEs) primarily by its magnetic field, known as the magnetosphere. This magnetic field deflects charged particles from the Sun, preventing them from directly impacting the planet. Additionally, the atmosphere serves as a further shield, absorbing and dispersing the energy from any particles that do penetrate the magnetosphere. Together, these layers of protection mitigate the potentially harmful effects of CMEs on Earth and its technological systems.
What solar anomely causes electronic interference?
You may be referring to solar flares, also known as coronal mass ejections. When these interact with Earth's magnetic field, the result can be electromagnetic interference. In severe storms, the interference can damage or destroy electronic equipment on Earth or in orbit.
What happens when solar flares turn into coronal mass ejections?
When solar flares turn into coronal mass ejections (CMEs), they release large quantities of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun's corona into space. CMEs can travel at high speeds and, when directed towards Earth, can interact with the planet's magnetic field, potentially causing geomagnetic storms. These storms can disrupt satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids, and can also produce beautiful auroras near the polar regions. Overall, CMEs represent a significant aspect of solar activity that can have widespread effects on Earth.

What are tremendous explosions in regions around sunspots which eject high-energy particles and emit x-rays called?
I suppose that you think to a "solar flare".Coronal mass ejections are bigger than solar flares.
How big are the explosions on the sun?
Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.
What are some effects of sunspots?
Some effects are coronal spots and reconnection events. Also, most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in the magnetically active regions around the visible sunspot groupings.
What are explosions on the sun's surface?
Explosions on the sun's surface are known as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These events release huge amounts of energy in the form of light, particles, and magnetic fields, which can impact space weather and technology on Earth. Solar flares are sudden flashes of increased brightness, while coronal mass ejections release massive clouds of charged particles into space.
What are Bubbles if ionized gas emitted from the sun?
Solar bubbles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are massive bursts of ionized gas and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona. They can travel through space and interact with Earth's magnetic field, potentially leading to geomagnetic storms and disruptions to satellite communications.
What are 3 types of solar storms?
Solar flares: intense bursts of radiation emitted from the sun's surface. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): massive expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Solar particle events: high-energy particles released from the sun that can impact satellites and astronauts in space.
What protects earth from coronal mass ejections?
Earth is protected from coronal mass ejections (CMEs) primarily by its magnetic field, known as the magnetosphere. This magnetic field deflects charged particles from the Sun, preventing them from directly impacting the planet. Additionally, the atmosphere serves as a further shield, absorbing and dispersing the energy from any particles that do penetrate the magnetosphere. Together, these layers of protection mitigate the potentially harmful effects of CMEs on Earth and its technological systems.
Changes in the amount of energy the sun sends out may be related to what?
Changes in the amount of energy the sun sends out may be related to solar activity cycles, such as sunspot cycles, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. These cycles can impact the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth and can influence our climate and space weather.
Do Auroras occur near sunspots?
Auroras are not directly related to sunspots. However, sunspots are associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth. These storms can enhance aurora activity, making them more likely to be visible at lower latitudes.
What are examples of solar activity?
Examples of solar activity include solar flares, sunspots, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind. These phenomena can have effects on Earth's magnetic field, technology, and space weather.
Are earthquakes related to air mass?
No.
