Geomagnetic Storm
Geomagnetic Storm (GMS) is a disturbance in the earth’s magnetosphere, which is the area around the planet controlled by its magnetic field.
- When Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) collide with the Earth, it causes GMS.
- CME is a large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the sun’s corona, or upper atmosphere.
- Impact of Geomagnetic Storms: Disrupt high-frequency radio broadcasts and global positioning system (GPS) devices, damage satellite electronics, can affect power supply on ....
