Earth would be much colder if it had no atmosphere. This greenhouse effect is what keeps the Earth's
climate (20)________. Without it, the Earth's surface would be an average of about 60 degrees

each of the questions from 28 to 32.
Over the past two centuries different generations were born and given different names. Among
these, Generations X, Y, and Z stand out, each characterized by specific experiences, values, and
perspectives.
Generation X, born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, grew up during a period of significant
social and economic change. They witnessed the transition from analog to digital technology and often
had to adapt quickly to the advent of the internet and mobile phones. Known for their independence,
resilience, and pragmatic approach to life, Gen Xers are often seen as the bridge between the more
traditional Baby Boomers and the tech-savvy Millennials. They value work-life balance and tend to be
skeptical of authority, having grown up during a time of political upheaval and corporate downsizing.
Generation Y, or Millennials, born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s to early 2000s, came of
age during the rise of the internet and social media. This generation is often characterized by its comfort
with digital technology and its propensity for social and environmental activism. Millennials value
purpose and meaning in their work and personal lives, often prioritizing experiences over material
possessions.
Generation Z, born from the mid-1990s to early 2010s, is the first generation to grow up in a fully
digital world. This generation is highly connected, with smartphones and social media being integral
parts of their daily lives from a young age. Gen Z is marked by its entrepreneurial spirit, strong social
consciousness, and desire for authenticity. They are pragmatic, financially minded, and highly adaptive
to new technologies. Growing up amid economic uncertainty and global challenges such as climate
change, they tend to be more cautious and pragmatic than their Millennial predecessors.
Despite the differences, these generations share common ground in their adaptability and drive for
positive change. Generation X's experience and resilience, combined with Generation Y's innovative and
collaborative approach, and Generation Z's digital fluency and social consciousness, create a dynamic
interplay that can drive society forward. For organizations and communities, understanding these
generational traits is vital for creating inclusive environments that leverage the strengths of each group.
