question 1
what is earths electromagnetic field?
an energy field that protects earth from the sun
am energy field that protects the earth from meteor showers
a machine that creates earthquakes
an energy field that charges earths cell phones
The Earth's electromagnetic field (magnetic field) is generated by the movement of molten iron in the Earth's outer core. Its main function is to deflect charged particles from the Sun (solar wind), which protects the Earth from harmful solar radiation and helps retain the atmosphere. The option about protecting from meteor showers is incorrect (meteors are mostly affected by gravity and atmospheric friction), the option about creating earthquakes is wrong (earthquakes are related to tectonic plate movements), and the option about charging cell phones is not a function of the Earth's electromagnetic field. So the correct option is the one stating it's an energy field that protects Earth from the sun.
