<h2>Answer:</h2>

Mesosphere

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The atmospheric layer that protects the Earth against danger of the rocks is the mesosphere. This layer is above the stratosphere. The temperature drops in this layer to about -100 degrees Celsius. This is the coldest region of the atmosphere. The mesosphere burns up most meteors and asteroids before they are able to reach the earth's surface. It becomes cold enough to freeze water vapor in its atmosphere into ice clouds.

Answer:

<u>the mesosphere  </u>

Explanation:

The mesosphere is the lowest layer of the stratosphere and coldest layer of atmosphere. The incoming meteors and debris from the space are burned away in this layer. As the debris passes the layers of the atmosphere, the friction causes them to burn and destroy before these reach the surface thereby protecting the Earth's surface. On the bodies like mercury and moon, we can find the surface has many impact craters. This is because there is no atmosphere on mercury and moon which could protect their surfaces.

The remote sensing technique known as _________ has enabled scientists to map more than 800 square miles (2,100 square kilometer
allsm [11]

From what we know, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique described in the question is that of laser scanning.

<h3>What is laser scanning?</h3>

This is, as described in the question, a remote sensing technique. This is a method most often used for land surveys, in which lasers are pointed at the area, which gather information in the form of 3D coordinates, which are later compiled to create detailed maps of the region.

Therefore, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique used by the PACUNAM project in order to map more than 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala, is that of laser scanning.

Which process allows organisms to use nitrogen based molecules
Maurinko [17]
Fixation
Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, most of which are symbiotic with plants. Recently fixed ammonia is then converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria
