Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field? Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska. Northern lights are seen at low latitude places like Michigan. The solar wind moves away from Earth towards other planets. The magnetic north and south poles of Earth are interchanged.
Only the second makes any kind of sense The Southern lights can't logically be see north of the equator, becomes they come (by definition) from activity around the South (Magnetic) Pole. The solar wind radiates from the sun in all directions equally, and it can't "move" because there's no where for it to go to. It isn't pointing in any one direction, but rather in all directions. It's true that the Earth's poles can interchange, but this is a *cause* of changes in the Earth's magnetic field, not an *effect."
Yes, it was between the 1st and 2nd thanks
