What is the major different in flow of energy versus the flow of matter?

Matter is always in the form of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). For it to flow, the atoms have to move from one place to another. Energy can move from some matter to other matter without moving the matter. Example: an ice cube warming up but not yet melting has energy flowing into it, but matter is not flowing. When it starts to melt, matter (in the form of water molecules) flows out.

What is the major source of energy on earth from the sun?
The energy from the ocean is the major recipient of solar energy. And in turn, the energy from the ocean is also the major source of energy here on earth. Ocean energy takes three major forms: wave energy, tidal energy, and thermocline energy, popularly called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)
Major form of energy?
Electricity is a major form of energy. Also chemical energy which all fossil fuels posess.
What are the two major topics studied by a physicist?
Matter and energy
How does energy help to change the state of matter?
Heat (thermal energy) is the major reason for state change in matter. (Although ambient pressure modifies that at the liquid/vapor boundary.) Basically as energy increases matter moves from solid to liquid to gas to plasma.
How is kinetic energy related to the states of matter?
Average kinetic energy on an atomic or molecular scale is what we perceive as temperature, and temperature is a major determinant of phase (along with pressure, which is the other major determinant).

What is phiysics?
It is a major branch of science. It was mainly started by the famous scientist, Isaac Newton. Physics is based on matter, motion, energy and force.
