Why do earth crossing asteroids intersect the earth's orbit？

• Their orbits are not entirely stable and can be disruptor by close passes of the planet Jupiter.

• They are attracted by the Earth's magnetic field, pulling them into our orbit.

• Asteroids are drawn to Earth due to gravitational anomalies created by human activities.

• Earth-crossing asteroids follow a predetermined path set by extraterrestrial intelligence.
