All energy on earth (except a small amount from the earth's core) comes fom the heat of the sun. Hot and rising air causes wind. The sun's heat drives the water cycle that takes water from the ocean and lets it fall on the mountains, where it runs down through dams, generating electricity.

What is the orignal source of the energy in wind and flowing water?
Solar energy
Is solar energy the original source of wind and flowing water?
Yes.
Solar energy heats water flowing through panels by?
By thermal energy this answer is RIGHT OK so believe me The answer is thermal energy
Is geothermal energy affected by solar energy?
Since geothermal energy comes from underneath the earth you would say no. But since there is water flowing to from the the wells that produce the geothermal energy and solar energy (heat from the sun) can change water temperature, it can.
What does flowing water have in a river?
Flowing water has kinetic energy
Can a flowing water is a form of potential energy?
NOPE! Water flowing is a kinetic energy source because its moving!
How do you get energy from flowing water?
kinetic
Is flowing water energy?
YES
What is the source of energy that power wind and flowing water?
Kinetic energy deals with motion hence powers the wind and flowing water.
Which form of energy is solar energy?
it a solar energy is wind,ice, or water
What is meant by the term solar energy?
Solar energy is energy generated by the Sun. For example, the light that hits the Earth is solar energy, because it is produced by the Sun. Humans have created solar panels, which turn regular light solar energy into electricity, water, and heat energy.
How is the weather related to the water cycle?
solar energy drives both weather and the water cycle.
