Scientists have observed huge bubbles of gas ejecting from the sun. which of these events would most likely occur due to this solar condition? (2 points) question 2 options: 1) decrease in wind velocity 2) decrease in the gravitational force 3) increase in the average temperature of earth 4) increase in the amount of helium in the atmosphere

3) increase in the average temperature of Earth

Explanation:

Coronal mass ejections or CME is the phenomena described as "Scientists have observed huge bubbles of gas ejecting from the sun". Whilst CMEs can happen alongside solar flares, it is also important to know that they can occur by themselves (independently). Solar flares refers to the abrupt release of energy kept in twisted magnetic fields caused by explosions on the Sun.

When these solar flares hit the earth, the gases (gas molecules) in the upper atmosphere such as nitrogen and water vapor are broken up and freed. This new gases then react with molecules in the ozone layer and reduce its layer. Consequently, the result is that there is increase in the average temperature of Earth.

Hence, option 3 is the event most likely to occur due to this solar condition

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
