How is the burning of meteors in the mesosphere useful for Earth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It destroys many small space bodies before they reach the surface
Many small meteoroids enter the atmosphere at very high speed. In the mesosphere, collisions with air molecules create intense frictional heating, causing many of them to ablate and glow as meteors before reaching the ground. This reduces the number of small space objects that can strike Earth’s surface, providing a protective benefit. The process does not form rivers, repair the ozone hole instantly, or make monsoon systems permanent. Hence option A is correct.
