Which form of energy powers the water cycle?
Thermal energy from sun powers water cycle.It provides heat to evaporate.
Why is the sun significant in the water cycle?
Sun helps in evaporation. it provides thermal energy.
What process in the water cycle is used when solar energy changes water to a gas?
Evaporation uses solar energy and converts water to a gas. Thermal energy of sun is used.
What energy source helps evaporate water from the earths surface in the water cycle?
The sun
Does thermal energy drive the water cycle?
Yes, the water cycle is driven by the energy in the Sun's rays, which evaporates water from the surface of the ocean. The water is carried up as vapour and eventually forms clouds and produces rain.
Where and how does water get its gravitational potential energy?
Through evaporation in the water cycle.
What provieds energy for earths water cycle?
Sun provides energy for earth's water cycle. It provides thermal energy for evaporation.

Waterfall is what kind of energy?
hydro thermal or gravitational hydro where the water is evaporated and the steam pushes a turbine that creates energy. gravitational where the water falling hits and turns a turbine that creates energy
What are thermal energy advantagaes?
its in a cycle. water is heated to produce steam which spins the turbine. and when steam condenses it forms water which can be evaporated again
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
What does energy that powers the water cycle comes from?
The energy that drives the water cycle is from the Sun.
