Dr. burns suspects that his patient has meningitis, which is a disease that causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. meningitis can be detected by observing fluid that surrounds the spinal cord. which diagnostic procedure will the doctor most likely use to confirm his suspicions?

Dr. Burns would likely use do a lumbar puncture of "spinal tap" in which a needle is used to draw cerebrospinal fluid from the lower back of a patient. The fluid would be sent to a lab for testing to confirm whether the patient has meningitis. 

The answer is atmosphere. there are four spheres of the earth: 1. geosphere (from greek word 'geo' = ground), 2. hydrosphere (from greek word 'hydro' = water), 3. biosphere (from greek word 'bio' = life), and 4. atmosphere (from greek word 'atmo' = air). a magnetosphere is a region of space around astronomical objects controlled by the magnetic field of that object. through the process of elimination, since lightning is present in the air, it can be found in the atmosphere.
