What causes the climates on earth to stay about the same year after year?
because the earth orbits in the same pattern.
What is the point on the Earth's surface where an earthquake's energy is received?
epicenter
Why do different elements emits different colored lights when they are subjected to flame?
When the element is subjected to flame, the electrons are in a high energy state. When they come back down to a stable state energy is released in the form of light. The color emitted depends on the amount of energy released.The different colors of the light emitted are caused by the different quantities of electrons losing energy in different elements.
How does the amount of heat energy reflected by a smooth dark-colored concrete surface compare with the amount of heat energy reflected by a smooth ligh-colored surface?
The dark coloured concrete surface absorbs more heat energy and therefore reflects less heat energy.
What two factors determine the amount of solar energy that an area receives?
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
What cause the amount of solar energy received in a particular area to change throughtout the year?
its the clouds change in the area
What is the full meaning of cal?
Cal means calories. It is a measure of the amount of energy that a particular food has. So, if we eat that particular food, then we will obtain that amount of energy.

How much energy is in a peanut?
There is not an exact amount of energy in a peanut it depends on the size and the type.
What does energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
