Yes. One of the factors behind the wind is differential heating of the earth's surface, which results in convection currents in the atmosphere.

What provides the energy needed to create winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans?
The sun is the original source of energy for such winds and currents.
Is wind energy not from the sun?
No, wind energy comes from the sun. The sun's heat causes high and low air pressure zones around the world, and the difference in pressures causes the winds.
Everlasting souce of energy is?
The solar energy and warmth from our Sun, the energy created by our winds and tides. Also nuclear powers is also a possibility.
Who invented wind energy?
Heat energy from the Sun causes the variety of weather patterns responsible for creating winds, including "prevailing" winds which are used for locating and powering wind generator "farms."
Why is wind energy indirect form of solar energy?
Indirect solar energy includes hydropower, biomass and wind energy. The air circulates from cold to warm areas producing winds, as the sun heats the earth.
What provides the energy needed to create winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans?
The sun is the original source of energy for such winds and currents.
What carries energy from the sun to other parts of the ocean?
Energy from the sun to other parts of the ocean is carried by winds.
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds we feel?
The Sun!
How are the sun's energy and the wind connected provide examples?
Winds are created by the heating and cooling of the earth's surface. The sun's energy provides the heat.
What things need energy from the sun?
Plants need energy from the sun.
What is the relationship between solar energy and global winds'?
The relationship between the two is their energy source which is the sun.
How does the wind get energy?
Basically from the Sun. The Sun powers our weather systems, which is what makes the winds that spins the turbines blow
How does the sun influence winds on Earth?
The energy from the Sun does not influence the global winds, it causes them. Without the Sun's energy, there would be no atmospheric movement - your question implies something else causes the global winds and the Sun modifies these. This is not the case.
Is wind energy not from the sun?
No, wind energy comes from the sun. The sun's heat causes high and low air pressure zones around the world, and the difference in pressures causes the winds.
Ever lasting source of energy is?
The solar energy and warmth from our Sun, the energy created by our winds and tides.
Everlasting souce of energy is?
The solar energy and warmth from our Sun, the energy created by our winds and tides. Also nuclear powers is also a possibility.
