What source of energy powers wind and flowing water?

The source of energy that powers wind and flowing water is the sun. Solar radiation heats the Earth unevenly, creating temperature differences in the atmosphere that lead to wind movement and evaporation of water, which then falls as precipitation and flows in rivers to generate hydroelectric power.
