Create a multiple choice question that asks for the definition of one of the vocab words of this section. give the right answer, an answer that is close, but not entirely right, an answer that would be close if the word was a different vocab word (one of your other four) and one that is simply wrong. please note the correct answer.

Create a multiple choice question that gives the definition of one of the vocab words from this section. List the right answer, and three wrong answers that are other vocab words from the reading. pick words that might be plausible as the decoy answers. please note the correct answer.

Watch the following video about the difference between a solar flare and a CME
Do you have any questions?

If you remember, there was a lot of talk of really impressive Aurora Borealis a couple times earlier this year. That is because we are at a peak in the solar cycle. This video explains visually the current theories of what is happening to the suns magnetic field. Note: if you are anything like me, you will feel a little lost with all his references to the toroidal and poloidal magnetic fields of the sun. Toroidal refers to this first picture - see how the field likes look like a stack of doughnuts? the technical mathematical term for a doughnut shape is a torus. Poloidal refers to the field that goes through the poles. Hope that helps.

Review question: What is the Corona

disease from drinking beer while wearing a crown

The sun's lower atmosphere

a sunspot

the suns upper atmosphere

review question: What is a neutrino

Neutrons that have undergone extreme pressure and are shot out from the sun at 75% times the speed of light

A subatomic particle of nearly the same mass as the proton but with no electric charge

Tiny neutral particles with little or no mass and immense penetrating power

A type of Kellogg's cereal that costs $6.99 at HEB

How does temperature affect pressure

it destroys the atoms

it makes the atoms closer

temperature doesn't affect pressure

it makes the atoms crash into each other harder

Read 11.4-11.5 in your book. Do you have any questions?

Review question: The earth spins on its axis, what causes the atmosphere to spin with it? does it spin at the same rate?

What is solar wind?

the movement of gas because of heat differentials

stuff flying off the sun and out into space

movement of air around the earth caused by heat from the sun

the sun's magnetic field lines

why is wind power an indirect form of solar power?

Why do sun spots appear dark?

Those areas at hotter

those areas are cooler

those areas are obscured by magnetic field lines which block them from view

those areas have had matter forced out to create a void

Review: how did we detect magnetic fields in the outer planets?

telescopes - seeing auroras and watching the movements of particles affected by the fields

probes - putting sensors in the path of magnetic fields

analyzing light spectra coming from the planets

extrapolating from seeing how fast the outer atmospheres move

What is the Maunder minimum?

Whenever sunspot activity is at a low ebb

whenever sunspot activity is at a high point

a particularly long period of low sunspot activity in the 17th centruy

a particularly long period of increased sunspots in the 16th century

What are the layers of the sun
what causes the sun's magnetic field
what is the sun cycle
what is the maunder minimum
what is a solar flare
what is a CME
what evidence do we have of the history of the suns cycles?
What is the effect of the solar cycle on the earth's climate

I've got this
I'm fuzzy
I'm so confused
