Erosion from weathering owes it's power source to the sun. The weather causes rocks to be newly exposed at the surface. Heat from the Earth's interior causes molten material to rise to the surface, creating new rock.

What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
What process moves energy from earths surface to high in the troposphere?
conduction
What causes evaporation of Earths waters to occur?
The cause of evaporation is the continuous movement of molecules at the surface of a liquid; gaining more energy they can escape in the air. Temperature favors this process.
What provides the energy for the water cycle and other processes on earths surface?
The sun
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
yes the earths surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere GOOD LUCK :)
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
When these pieces of earths surface crash together or scrape against one another the release of energy causes?
Earthquakes
What are two sources of the Earths energy?
the sun and the moon
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What are the sources of energy that power the earths systems?
The sun and the earth's interior are the two sources of energy that power earth's systems.
What are the two sources of that power earths energy?
The sun and the earth's interior are the two sources of energy that power earth's systems.
What are two sources of energy that power earths system?
The sun and the earth's interior are the two sources of energy that power earth's systems.
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What are the two sources of energy in the earths system?
The sun's rays and wind.
What are the two sources of energy for the earths systems?
solar system and gas
What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
