Check each statement that applies to the atmosphere as a natural resource.
GalinKa [24]

The correct statements are:

1. The atmosphere interacts with the hydrosphere to redistribute water over the surface of the Earth;

2. The atmosphere interacts with several Earth spheres, including the lithosphere;

3. Wind from the atmosphere creates ocean waves and currents;

The atmosphere is one of the few spheres, and it is of crucial importance for the life on our planet, but also for the shape of the world, and redistribution of temperature. Any slight change in it affects the whole planet significantly, and that just proves its importance. It can be a blessing, and it can be a curse with its activity, but whichever way it is, it is part of the natural process of our planet.
