<em>Answer:</em> True

Although there is a lot we do not know about the Earth, scientists do know why it is that the Earth has a magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere is a region that extends several tens of thousands of kilometers into space, above the ionosphere. It protects the Earth (its upper atmosphere) from cosmic rays and charged particles of solar wind.

When planets are created, the heat causes the different elements to separate into layers. Heavier elements, such as nickel and iron would sink towards the core. Eventually, the pressure that gravity would put on that core would cause it to become solid. However, the outer core stays molten because pressure is not as high. In this molten layer, the differences in temperature and pressure will cause currents, which will move metals around. This generates an electric current that causes magnetic fields.

Because the planet also spins on its axis, it helps align all the magnetic fields generated, allowing it to extend beyond the surface of the planet and form a magnetosphere.

Functional illiteracy is the inability to read, write, or understand information at what grade level? A. First B. Sixth C. Tenth

Kipish [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Functional illiteracy means that you cannot function well in life because you cannot read or write. A first, sixth, or even tenth grader can be illiterate but still be able to function in life because they could be a be playing video games all day, watching videos, etc. all day but they are still able to function because their parents work to meet the needs of their kid. But when you are in twelfth, you will be an adult very soon and you have to be off on your own, and literacy is crucial here. If you cannot read or write when you are 18, it will be extremely hard to function at all.

Therefore, the answer is D. Twelfth.

Have a wonderful day! :D
