What force drives the water cycle ?
Solar energy drives water cycle. It helps in evaporation.
What drives the solar magnetic cycle?
The solar magnetic cycle is driven by the magnetic flux.
What supplies the energy that drives the energy cycle?
Energy from the sun
What does energy that powers the water cycle comes from?
The energy that drives the water cycle is from the Sun.
What are three phases of the water cycle What drives the water cycle?
Evaporation, precipitation and runoff and it is all driven by the sun
What drives the hydrological cycle?
The forceing of what drives hydrological cycle is the sun.
What is the major source of energy that powers the movement of water throughout the environment?
The main source of energy in the water cycle is the sun/Solar radiation (sunlight).the source of energy that drives the water cycle is the sun because since the sun's heat makes the water evaporate which will led to the whole process of the water cycle and the process will keep on repeating.The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is driven by both short wave radiation from the sun, and long wave (infrared) radiation from the earth.
What powers the earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the earth's core, via the magma drives the tectonic part of the rock cycle. This heat is derived mainly from radioactive fission of the heavy elements in the Core.Gravity drives much of the weathering part of the rock cycle. Via evaporation of water, and rain and rivers, and glaciation.Some solar radiation also energizes part of the weathering part of the rock cycle.
