Question
There are several factors which could contribute to the habitability of Earth. Match each property with the most likely 'cause'. (Check your answers to all of them before submitting!).
Stable climate Answer 1Choose...Earth's magnetic field,Jupiter,Plate tectonics and carbon cycle,Moon (maybe!) Protection from radiation Answer 2Choose...Earth's magnetic field,Jupiter,Plate tectonics and carbon cycle,Moon (maybe!) Stable rotation axis Answer 3Choose...Earth's magnetic field,Jupiter,Plate tectonics and carbon cycle,Moon (maybe!) Protects from impacts with material from the outer Solar System Answer 4Choose...Earth's magnetic field,Jupiter,Plate tectonics and carbon cycle,Moon (maybe!)Explanation / Answer
Stable climate - carbon cycle, plate tectonics, the Moon
Protection from radiation - Earth's magnetic field, the moon, the Jupiter (extra-solar radiation)
Stable rotation axis - the Moon, Earth's magnetic field
Protects from impacts with material from the outer Solar System - the Jupiter, the Moon
