B. Magnetic charges from space are prevented from reaching Earth's
surface.
C. Charged particles from the sun are prevented from reaching
Earth
O
D. Earth's temperature is raised and moderated by trapping in heat.
ANSWER:
The earth’s magnetic field has the function of deflecting the solar wind. The harmful radiations are repelled by the earth’s magnetic field to enter the surface.
EXPLANATION:
Magnetic field is a field that experiences the magnetic force due to magnetic materials. So earth’s magnetic field has an intense function that prevents the entrance of the harmful radiation through the ozone layer. The charged particles would easily 'strip away the ozone layer' due to the magnetic force of 'Earth’s magnetic field'.
D
Explanation:
The magnetic field is a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. The Earth's magnetic field deflects most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would strip away the ozone layer which protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation.
Earth's temperature is raised and moderated by trapping in heat.
hope this helped 🙂
