I NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY!! ON THE QUIZ NOW How are Van Allen belts formed?
High-energy particles from the Sun get trapped in Earth’s magnetic field.
Metals in Earth’s core sink and rise, producing a circular movement of the metals.
Particles in solar wind travel along lines of Earth’s magnetic field and collide with gas atoms.
Material from the surface of the Sun erupts and forms a loop due to the Sun’s magnetic field.

The correct statement is that 'High-energy particles from the Sun get trapped in Earth’s magnetic field.'

Explanation:

Van Allen Belts are formed through the trapping of energy particles from the sun (solar) in the Earth's magnetic field. The belts where named after the scientist that discovered it, James Alfred Van Allen, in 1958. He was able to discover that the particles that formed the belts originates from:

--> solar wind and

--> cosmic rays( which are high energy protons)

These energetic particles that are being trapped by the Van Allen Belts are being deflected, this it's helps in the protection of the Earth's atmosphere.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
