The Earth has fewer meteorite impacts because _____.
A. of the Earth's atmosphere
B. liquid water began to form
C. the thicker atmosphere blocked the Sun's rays
D. volcanic outgassing ceased
Answer (3)
Option (1) ;
The earth has fewer meteorite impacts because the earth's thick atmosphere destroys any meteorites before it actually hits earth. Basically your answer is the thicker atmosphere blocked the sun's rays.
The Earth has fewer meteorite impacts due to its atmosphere, which protects it by burning up incoming meteorites before they reach the surface. A thicker atmosphere, developed over time, has significantly reduced the number of meteorites that impact the planet. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
