The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

<u>Answers</u>

A. magnetic field <em>prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface </em>

B. ozone <em>moderates changes in temperature on the surface</em>

C. carbon dioxide<em> retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere </em>

D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams<em> filters cancer-causing rays from the sun </em>

<u>Explanation</u>

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps the infrared radiation heat from the sun. It is used as a greenhouse gas.

Ozone protects the earth's surface from ultraviolet light from the sun. This moderates the temperature on earth.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

400 milli-rems

Solution:

As per the question;

Maximum energy of particle, E_{m} = 0.0186\ MeV

Weight, w = 1 kg

Energy absorbed, E = 4\times 10^{- 3}\ J

Now,

Equivalent dose is given by:

D_{eq} = \frac{E}{w}  =\frac{4\times 10^{- 3}}{1} = 4\times 10^{- 3}\ J/kg

1 Gy = 1 J/kg

Also,

1 Gy = 1\times 10^{5}\ milli-rems

Therefore,

Dose equivalent in milli-rems is given by:

D_{eq} = 4\times 10^{- 3}\times 1\times 10^{5} = 400\ milli-rems
