Question

Which of these processes describes the effect Earth’s atmosphere has on Earth’s biosphere?

A.) Animals losing their habitat from deforestation
B.) Ocean levels rise from glaciers melting
C.) The uprooting of trees from a tornado
D.) Widening of streams from severe weather

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The uprooting of trees from a tornado

Explanation:

I got it correct on the quiz so you should too. It is Not B! My answer got removed earlier so I'll add an explanation.

According to this sentence from the Lesson, "It provides the gases that animals and plants in the biosphere need to carry on cellular processes." This is where it talks about how the atmosphere interacts with the biosphere. The only choice that makes sense after reading this is C. D is the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere interacting. B is the Cryosphere and Hydrosphere interacting. And I'm not sure how to explain A, but C, "uprooting of trees" is the biosphere (any living thing on Earth) and "a tornado" is the atmosphere (what causes weather). Hope this helps
