If a geomagnetic storm reaches the Earth, which of the following are the possible effects on the Earth?
1. Disruption of global navigation systems
2. Slowing down of ocean currents
3. Creation of auroras at poles
4. Radio communication is affected
5. Intensification of glacier melting
6. Difficulty in controlling satellites
7. Harmful currents induced in power grid and pipelines
Select the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Ans c
The hazards associated with geomagnetic storms are ->
Because the ionosphere is heated and distorted during storms, long range radio communication that relies on sub-ionospheric reflection can be difficult or impossible and global-positioning system (GPS) communications can be degraded.
Ionospheric expansion can increase satellite drag and make their orbits difficult to control.
During magnetic storms, satellite electronics can be damaged through the build up and discharge of static-electric charges. Astronauts and high altitude pilots can be subjected to increased levels of radiation.
Even though rapid magnetic field variations are generated by currents in space, very real effects can result down here on the Earth’s surface. That includes voltage surges in power grids that cause blackouts.
The Aurora Borealis or “Northern Lights” and the Aurora Australis or “Southern Lights” occur during geomagnetic storms when charged particles impact the Earth’s upper atmosphere
It is not known to cause slowing down of ocean currents and intensification of glacier melting.

Consider the following statements regarding Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
1. HIV is an infection that attacks the immune system by destroying the body’s CD4 cells.
2. Typically, the time between HIV transmission and AIDS diagnosis is 10-15 years, although it may occur sooner.
3. HIV does not spread through breastmilk from an infected mother to child.
Which of the above statement is/are correct?
Correct
Ans b
Bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, rectal fluids and breastmilk can be carriers for HIV.
It can be transmitted through unprotected sex, transfusion of contaminated blood, sharing needles and syringes, and from a mother with HIV to her infant during pregnancy.
