Question

Why are the magnetosphere and plasmasphere important to the biosphere? Select all that apply.

They contain all of Earth’s water in the form of solid, liquid, and gas.
The biosphere would not be able to survive without the protection of the magnetosphere and plasmasphere.
Without the protection of the magnetosphere and plasmasphere, we would have a very different atmosphere, making it impossible for life to exist.

Answer 1

The biosphere would not be able to survive without the protection of the magnetosphere and plasmasphere.

Answer 2

When solar material streams strike Earth’s magnetosphere, they can become trapped and held in two donut-shaped belts around the planet called the Van Allen Belts. The belts restrain the particles from traveling along Earth’s magnetic field lines, continually bouncing back and forth from pole to pole.
