Q1. It is ---------1---------- that the “solar dynamo” — a naturally occurring generator which produces electric and magnetic fields in the sun — is linked to the ----------2---------- of sunspots. What kick-starts the 11-year sunspot cycle is not known. Now, a group of solar physicists suggests that a “solar tsunami” is at work that triggers the new sunspot cycle, after the old one ends. The extreme temperature and pressure conditions that ---------3-------- some 20,000 km below the sun’s surface cause its material to form a plasma consisting primarily of hydrogen and helium in a highly ionised state. The plasma is ---------4--------- with huge magnetic fields inside the sun. Explains Dr. Dipankar Banerjee from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, and one of the authors of the paper published in Scientific Reports, “The [sun’s] toroidal magnetic field, from which sunspots get ---------5---------, wraps around the sun in the east-west direction.”
