Answer to Question 1

Evidence suggests that there is a link between solar activity and the amount of solar energy Earth receives. Solar activity can affect Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. Solar flares release energy as short-wavelength photons plus high-energy protons and electrons. X-ray and UV photons reach Earth and increase ionization in our upper atmosphere, which can interfere with radio communications. Particles from flares reach Earth as gusts in the solar wind, which can distort Earth's magnetic field and disrupt navigation systems. Solar flares can also cause surges in electrical power lines and damage Earth satellites. The solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field and create aurorae.

Answer to Question 2

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
