Where does running water get its energy?
the sun
What is a description of solar energy?
Solar energy is the energy that we can derive from the sun directly.
How does running water derive its energy from the sun?
This is known as The Rain Cycle. The energy of the Sun heats the surface of the planet and the air above it, this creates a temperature imbalance that causes the light warm air to move to areas of heavier cold air, it is this movement of air that creates the winds. The wind and the heat of the Sun evaporates water from the sea, lakes and rivers and creates the clouds of water vapor. When the air pressure is low enough and the clouds heavy enough the water vapor condenses back into water in the form of rain. The rain falls and finds its way back to the rivers, lakes and ultimately the sea. So all the water on planet Earth is circulated by the Sun's energy by the rain cycle.
Some of the sun's is converted into wind and water waves-?
Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
What is an example of an object that has potential energy?
Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.
Where does running water get its energy?
the sun
What electricity doesn't derive its energy from the sun?
Most of the energy we use on Earth ultimately derive from solar radiation. The exceptions are:* Nuclear energy.* Geothermal energy.* Tidal energy.So, any power plant that generates energy based on these would NOT derive energy from the Sun.
What are the nonrenewable resources that do not derive their energy from the sun?
Nuclear Energy Geothermal Energy
What is a description of solar energy?
Solar energy is the energy that we can derive from the sun directly.
What are forms of energy that derive it's energy from the sun?
All kind of energy (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, coal, oil, natural gas) except energy of water falls.
What types of energy source not derive from the sun?
Tidal energy, heat from the interior of Earth, and nuclear energy.
Where does the energy in food from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Where does the energy from running water in streams come from?
The sun. Evaporation leads to rain in the mountains & gravity does the job from there.
Organisms designated producers usually obtain their energy from what?
The vast majority of organisms that are designated as producers (generally plants) derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Some exceptions to this are called extremophiles, which gain energy through chemosynthesis (such as bacteria around deep ocean vents).
What supplies the energy in water cycle?
The sun. The sun's energy comes in the form of heat. This begins the cycle with evaporation.
What are the types of energy you use on earth?
Heat and electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, heat from underground, Potential energy from water running down hill (ultimately this has come from the Sun as the atmosphere is powered by the Sun and it is the rain that feeds rivers). Radioactive energy from minerals in the Earth.
