D is the correct answer. The answers are a,d,d

D. It does trap heat, shield the planet, AND disintegrate space debris before it reaches the surface.

1. Streams of charged participles

2. Oxygen and nitrogen
3. All of the above

Without the atmosphere that protects the Earth, humans, animals and all plant life would not be able to survive. The atmosphere works to hold oxygen in the area around the earth. Humans and most animals are dependent on oxygen. Plants are also dependent on oxygen because they take the leftover carbon dioxide from humans when they inhale the oxygen. Radiation is another important factor for the Earth's survival. It is necessary for survival of plants and animals that there be some type of radiation from sunlight, but too much radiation can cause major problems that are mostly associated with overheating of the Earth. The atmosphere forms a blanket around the Earth that prevents too much radiation from entering the earth. The blanket that it provides is also responsible for the weather that is seen on the Earth. The atmosphere works to create cool breezes and the rain that is necessary for plants to grow and animals to remain hydrated

So they couldn't give you a clear yes or no, and I'm 100% sure alex's response is copied from the internet

Ms.Sue or Alex you both seem like good tutors can one of you reply to my maths question after fully reading. I really need help! Please!

Avery was correct it was D :)

Y U typing so much wierdo

@keke is still correct has of 2023 lol

so is my answer correct?

Alex's answer is clear.

Not fr. That's incredibly disrespectful to them, they're just trying to teach without giving the direct answer.
