Explain how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field to create auroras at the poles. Make ...

Answer to q. 1

Earth's magnetic field dominates space around Earth by deflecting the solar wind and trapping high-energy particles in radiation belts. Solar wind particles are first deflected by the bow shock of Earth's magnetic field. High-energy particles from the solar wind leak into the magnetosphere and become trapped within Earth's magnetic field to produce the Van Allen belts of radiation The magnetic field lines enter Earth's atmosphere around the north and south magnetic poles. Powerful currents flow down along the magnetic field lines near the poles and excite gas atoms to emit photons, creating auroras. Colors are produced as different atoms are excited.

Answer to q. 3

Geoscientists can use the arrival times of reflected and refracted seismic waves from distant earthquakes to construct a model of Earth's interior. Seismic waves from distant earthquakes pass through Earth, but a certain kind of wave, the S type, does not pass through the core. Because the S waves cannot move through a liquid, scientists conclude that Earth's core is partly liquid. Earth's magnetic field is further evidence of a liquid metallic core. The theory for the generation of magnetic fields, the dynamo effect, requires a moving, conducting liquid (for a planet) or gas (for a star) in the interior. If Earth's core were not partly a liquid metal, it would not be able to generate a magnetic field.

This helps so much, thank you for responding so quickly...

No worries, I was online and bored
