Read paragraphs C and E from the text “Solar system impact on the Earth” and correct the mistakes. C. Not only the Sun impacts on the Earth. The other planets of the solar system also impact on the Earth. Being the biggest planet of the solar system, Jupiter, with its strongest gravitational pull, protects Earth from falling meteorites and comets. A comet impact 55 million years ago may have helped mammals dominate the Earth. It could have triggered a rapid phase of global warming linked to the expansion of mammal groups. Space impacts have had profound effects on Earth's ecosystems. For example, an asteroid which slammed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 66 million years ago was responsible for disappearing dinosaurs.
E. Alexander Chizhevsky identified the 11-year cycle of the sun and its connection with seismic activity on the Earth. When two or more planets align, they create a huge gravitational field which intensifies solar activity. The Earth is under the influence of a huge gravity struggle between the Sun and the planets. When the Sun’s activity increases because of planet alignment, it leads to the motion of tectonic plates. It may cause earthquakes and tsunamis.

Jupiter (attacks) the Earth.
Planets alignment (neutralizes) solar activity
