Where does nearly all of the energy in the tides originally come from?
From Earth's rotation. Therefore, if tidal energy is used - or not used, but just wasted in friction - Earth will gradually rotate slower and slower.
Is sunlight the earth major source of energy?
Within our solar system it is. The earth does have stored energy in the form of heat, but it is assumed this came originally from the sun, when the earth was formed. The sun of course obeys the laws of physics which as far as we know apply to the whole universe, but one could wonder how the sun itself was formed, where the energy came for that. Radioactive materials within the earth also add to the heat which it contains, and some materials such as uranium can be made to give energy by nuclear fission. These sources of energy may have been formed by processes that occurred before our sun was formed. However as at present, all energy arriving at the earth's surface from outside the earth must come from the sun.
What kind of energy drives all the processes important to life on earth?
The energy from the Sun, solar energy drives all the process important to life on Earth.
What types of energy sources are not derived from the sun?
Practically all energy on earth comes originally from the sun. A power source not derived from the sun is geothermal, which uses heat from deep under the ground.* Nuclear energy.* Geothermal energy.* Fuel cell energy.* kinetic energy* potential energy* thermal energy* gravitational energy* sound energy* light energy* electromagnetic energy* elastic energy
What is the kind of energy that drives all the processes important to life on Earth?
solar energy
Where does nearly all of the energy in the tides originally come from?
From Earth's rotation. Therefore, if tidal energy is used - or not used, but just wasted in friction - Earth will gradually rotate slower and slower.
Where does all energy for life on earth come from?
the sun
Where does the energy come that is used from all living things?
All earth's energy comes from the sun.
Where does all energy in a ecosystem originally come from?
All energy in any ecosystem originally comes from the sun. the energy is then passed on to the producers. including plants, trees, and anything else that uses photosynthesis.
Where does all energy ultimately come from on earth?
The Sun, unless it is geothermal energy (heat form the Earth's core) which originates from radioactive decay.
Where does all the energy from the earth come from?
From the sun, gravity, and the heat from the interior of the planet.
Where does an ocean wave get its energy directly from?
It doesn't come all from one source. The energy come from wind, earth's rotation and ocean currents
Where does the energy used by living organisms on Earth come from?
Ultimately, it all comes from the Sun.
Where does almost all the energy on earth come from?
The S s s s sun
Where does all the energy that influeces weather and causes plant to grow on earth come from?
The Sun.
WHY IS THE SUN CALLED THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF ENERGY?
Because almost ALL sources of energy on Earth derived originally from sunlight. (Exceptions are gravity sources [earthquakes] and thermal vents.]
