Answer:
As you already know, sunlight (solar energy, or energy from the Sun) is the primary source of energy for all processes that occur in Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere. This means that solar energy is also the primary driver of winds and ocean currents .
Explanation:
Answer: Very Likely
Explanation:
Michigan has had 24 deaths from extreme cold in the last 20 years.
This is a rate of:
= 24 / 20
= 1.2 deaths per year.
For something to be considered ''very likely'' to occur, the chances of that thing occurring needs to be above 90%.
Going by the deaths per year, the probability is more than 90% at 120%. It is therefore very likely that there will be a death from extreme cold.

Answer: The earth layers and atmospheric layers are distinctly different.
Explanation:
The earth layers are made up of solid matter whereas the atmospheric layers are made up of gases.
The earth layers provide the base for the survival of diversity of living beings whereas the atmospheric layers only allow microbes which can survive in extreme temperature conditions.
The stratospheric layer of the atmosphere protects the living beings from the harmful radiations striking on the surface of earth and they are capable of causing mutation whereas the lithosphere or any other surface layer of the earth also absorb thermal energy from sun but does not provide protection against harmful affects of ultraviolet radiations.
