What else can I help you with?
Water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again in a process known as the water cycle. Which of the following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
Solar energy is the major form of energy driving the water cycle. Solar radiation heats Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate and rise into the atmosphere. This energy drives the cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that forms the water cycle.
Which of following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
fossil fuels
What is the driving force behind the movement of water through the water cycle?
The driving force behind the movement of water through the water cycle is the energy from the sun.
What cycle is bacteria the driving force behind?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
What is the driving force behind the water cycle?
The driving force behind the water cycle is the energy from the sun. Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate and form clouds. These clouds eventually release the water as precipitation, which flows back into bodies of water and continues the cycle.
What drives the force behind the water cycle?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
What is the driving force behind the water cycling?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
Is the sun a driving force behind the water cycle why or why not?
Yes, the sun is a driving force behind the water cycle. Solar energy heats the Earth’s surface, causing water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This evaporation forms clouds and leads to precipitation, completing the water cycle.
What source of energy causes the change in the water cycle?
The sun evaporates water, which condenses onto dust particles to make clouds, which precipitates to form rain
What is the major reservoir for a water cycle molecule?
The major reservoir for water in the water cycle is the world's oceans. Oceans hold approximately 97% of the Earth's water, which is constantly evaporating, condensing, and falling back to Earth in the form of precipitation, driving the water cycle.
What is the ultimate source of water cycle?
The ultimate source of the energy driving it is that coming from the Sun.
What type of energy powers the water cycle radiant potential or mechanical?
By the water cycle I think you mean the cycle whereby the sun warms the ocean, causes evaporation, which falls as rain and returns to the ocean by rivers, and so on? It is radiant energy from the sun which powers this cycle.
