Less expensive. The cost difference between building a roundabout and a traffic signal is comparable. Where long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.Roundabouts are also more effective during power outages.here long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.

A rendering of the magnetic field lines of Earth's magnetosphere. A magnetosphere is the region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are controlled by that object's magnetic field. The magnetic field near the surface of many astronomical objects resembles that of a dipole.
A magnetic tail or magnetotail is formed by pressure from the solar wind on a planet's magnetosphere. Solar wind contains high energy particles which are produced by solar storms. These particles affect Earth.The coronal mass ejections cause changes in the magnetic field of the earth when they collide with the field. just now. Report Abuse. The magnetosphere is a region that surrounds the Earth's magnetic field and extends far out into space, some 36,000 miles, or possibly more than 1,000 times the Earth's radius, according to NASA's Cosmicopia website (see link in Resources).
