    B. Ocean levels rising from glaciers melting

    Explanation:

    Atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds our planet. The gases that make up the atmosphere are kept around the earth due to the pull of gravity and accompany its movement. The atmosphere is fundamental to the maintenance of life on earth because:

    It is a source of oxygen, essential gas for life. Regulates temperature and terrestrial climate. It is responsible for the distribution of water on the planet (rain). Protects the earth from cosmic radiation and meteors.

    However, because of man's abuse of nature and the constant pollution caused by humans, the atmosphere has found it difficult to perform its functions efficiently, directly affecting life on the planet and the earth's geosphere. An example of this is the failure of the atmosphere to regulate the temperature of the planet causing a rise in temperature that causes a great melting of the polar glaciers. The result is rising sea levels, causing a serious risk of flooding the coastal regions.

    Ocean levels rising from glaciers melting describes the effect earths atmosphere has on earths geosphere.

    Answer: Option B

    Explanation:

    Geo means earth and it talks about the ground to the bottom till the earth's core. It also includes earth's rock, minerals and that makes up the earth. Earth's atmosphere causes glaciers to melt and hence the Ocean levels rise.

    Though the earth's crust seems safe there are lots of hidden things happening there is a shift happening in the earth's plate. The ice bergs due to the rise of temperature in the atmosphere which causes the glaciers to melt hence increasing the water level.
