Is not driven by energy from the sun?
volcanic eruption
Which is not driven by energy from the sun?
volcanic eruption
What are the processes driven by energy from the sun?
LIFE on Earth as we know it.
What is the the water cycle driven by?
Mainly by solar energy and gravity. 2. By the energy from the sun.
How is the earths external heat engine driven?
By the Sun or Solar Energy
Which energy doesn't need the sun's energy?
every energy requires the suns energy the sun is the ultimate source of energy for everything -O-A2. Nuclear energy does not depend on the sun, nor does geothermal energy from the earth's core. Tidal energy is largely driven by the moon but the sun also has some effect.
Which is not drivien by energy from the sun?
The sun is by far (99.999%) where the earth gets all of it's energy from. Therefore you can make the argument that every process on earth, man or nature, is driven by the sun.
What is the engine that drives atmospheric circulation?
The engine that drives atmospheric circulation is the sun - which provides the energy for the circulation.
Does all the energy start out as chemical energy?
No, our energy sources started from the sun (nuclear fusion) which made vegetation grow which turned into fossil fuels, or from stellar events which formed uranium. Then there are energy sources like wind, wave, and tidal, that are driven by the sun's energy, and direct solar energy. When we use fossil fuels, we are using a chemical reaction to release the energy contained in the fuel, but the original formation of the fossil fuel was driven by the sun. Energy from uranium is not chemical at all. Hydro power also depends on rainfall as the source of the energy, and that is caused by the sun's effect on the weather.
How do the different parts of the water cycle fit togehter?
They are all driven by energy, mainly form the Sun but also to some extent geothermal energy.
What is weather driven by?
Weather is driven by moisture and the sun! :)
What are the original sources of energy for both coal and wind?
The source of the energy in coal and wind can ultimately be traced to the Sun. Coal is the compressed remains of vegetation that grew millions of years ago, so that was produced by the sun. Wind is part of our weather, and that is also driven by the sun.
