1 multiple choice 10 points
how do volcanic eruptions impact the atmosphere?
volcanic eruptions release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere along with ash and dust into the atmosphere.
volcanic eruptions improve air quality in the atmosphere.
volcanic eruptions emit large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere.
volcanic eruptions decrease the quantity of gases in the atmosphere.

2 multiple choice 10 points
the earths surface is broken into plates that move as a result of
heat distribution within the atmosphere caused by the sun

<reasoning>

Analyze volcanic impacts on the atmosphere

Volcanoes release gases and particulates.
These emissions include carbon dioxide and ash.
This directly affects atmospheric composition.

Analyze tectonic plate movement drivers

Earth's mantle experiences thermal convection.
Heat from the core drives these currents.
Convection currents move the overlying plates.

Analyze Earth as a system

Earth consists of interacting spheres.
These spheres are highly interconnected.
All parts of the planet are interdependent.
</reasoning>
