Volcanic Eruptions and Solar Effects: Power Outages

An image related to solar flares.

Volcanic eruptions and solar effects have become significant topics of discussion today. The power outages experienced in Europe have prompted us to question the effects of these events.

Solar flares are massive explosions that occur on the surface of the Sun. These flares result from the sudden release of energy accumulated in the Sun's magnetic fields. During this process, high-energy electromagnetic waves are ejected into space.

Recently, the widespread power outages in Europe have raised concerns about the effects of solar flares. Experts indicate that such events can seriously impact electrical infrastructure.

Geomagnetic storms can induce currents in high-voltage power lines, leading to imbalances in the networks. The major power outage in Quebec, Canada, in 1989 was caused by such a storm.

The effects of solar flares threaten not only electrical grids but also satellite technologies and aviation safety. Therefore, society needs to be prepared for such events.
