Hey there!

1.) Without the atmosphere, average temperature on Earth would be freezing! Below zero to be exact!

2.) The atmosphere protects us and animals from dangerous radiation from the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation is basically invisible rays of energy created by the sun.

3.) Also, the atmosphere provides oxygen for humans and animals to breathe and C02 (Carbon dioxide) for plants. 

4.) And lastly, the atmosphere protects us from objects coming towards the earth. 

Hope this helps!

Among some of the functions of the atmosphere we have:

1) The atmosphere acts as a protective shield or as a shield against the possible fall of meteorites coming from outer space on the earth.

2) The atmosphere protects the planet earth against the action of solar radiation. Without the atmosphere, human beings are exposed to the action of ultraviolet rays.

3) The atmosphere provides oxygen. This is vital for the organism in order to be able to complete the basic functions of life.

4) The atmosphere protects the planet from drastic variations in temperature and climate during the day and night.

True or False; Intensity describes the amount of energy released while magnitude describes the amount of damage done by an earth
Westkost [7]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

An earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth, which can cause damage depending on the intensity and magnitude.

The magnitude and intensity are the two main characteristics of an earthquake.  

Magnitude is defined as the amount of energy that is released during an earthquake. This magnitude is measured using a scale known as the 'Richter scale'. The Richter scale ranges from 1 to 10, where an earthquake of magnitude 10 is extremely destructive.

The intensity of an earthquake is defined as the amount of destruction that an earthquake can create. It is measured in terms of a scale which is known as the 'Mercalli Intensity Scale' that ranges from I to XII.

Thus the above-given statement is false.
