The atmosphere helps organisms survive in many ways. Which of the following statements describes one way in which the troposphere helps organisms survive?

• It contains a layer of ozone gas that absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation.

• It contains gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, that trap heat.

• It causes meteors to burn up before they crash on Earth's surface.

• It provides a layer of thin air in which satellites can orbit Earth.

Energy is needed to start global winds moving through the atmosphere. Which of the following is the source of energy that causes global winds?

• the sun

• local winds

• warm oceans

• ocean currents

• cryosphere and hydrosphere

• hydrosphere and atmosphere

• thermosphere and atmosphere

The layers of Earth's atmosphere perform specific functions. Study the illustration, which shows the layers of the atmosphere. Which layer of the atmosphere absorbs solar radiation that would be harmful to certain elements of the biosphere?

• troposphere

• mesosphere

• stratosphere

• thermosphere

When animals breathe, they take in oxygen from the air. The oxygen is used to obtain energy from food. This example demonstrates interaction between which two spheres?

• atmosphere and biosphere

• cryosphere and atmosphere

Earth’s spheres interact in many ways. What is one way that the cryosphere and biosphere interact?

• glacier picks up rock and sediment as it moves down a valley.

• Heavy rains bring an end to a dry period on the African savannah.

• volcanic eruption destroys the plants on an island.
