Coronal mass ejecta and solar flares are generated from explosions on the Sun's surface. Both are comprised of charged particles which move outward from the Sun. If they encounter Earth's outer atmosphere, scientists will advise communities that immediate effects may be experienced. Why do scientists warn communities when these solar events take place? o Larger than normal holes in the ozone layer will be produced. o Service in communications linked to satellites will be disrupted. o Higher than normal tidal forces will be experienced for several days. o Larger than normal occurrence of eye and skin disorders will develop
