Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Van Allen radiation belts are regions in the Earth's magnetic field where charged particles, mostly from the solar wind, are trapped. These belts are located in the upper atmosphere, extending from about 600 miles to more than 25,000 miles above the Earth's surface. The trapped particles can cause auroras to form in the polar regions. The Van Allen radiation belts are regions of Earth's magnetic field that trap charged particles, such as protons and electrons, from the solar wind. The other options (ozone layer, exosphere, corona, and aurora borealis/australis) are not associated with the trapping of charged particles by Earth's magnetic field.
