QUESTION 20 Which of the following factors does not play a role in the formation of auroras near the geomagnetic north and south poles? a. The fact that air molecules emit light after being excited by subatomic particles b. The weak intensity of the magnetic field near either geomagnetic poles. O c. The increasing density of the atmosphere as charged particles penetrate more closely to the surface of the earth d. The solar wind e. The fact that the crust of the earth contains a relatively large percentage of ferromagnetic iron.
