Question

Two examples of Earth system interactions are stated below.

Example 1: Erosion of soil by water.
Example 2: Transpiration in plants.
Which of these statements is correct about the role of the atmosphere in the two examples of Earth system interactions? (1 point)
a
The atmosphere plays a role in both Example 1 and Example 2.

b
The atmosphere plays a role in Example 1 but not in Example 2.

c
The atmosphere plays a role in Example 2 but not in Example 1.

d
The atmosphere does not play any role in either Example 1 or Example 2.

Answer 1

So, the atmosphere is responsible for both of these things. Certain air pressure in the atmosphere will cause air movement causing soil erosion. Transpiration is caused by exposure to a certain part of the atmosphere that causes massive water loss.
