What is the original source for wind?
Wind blows from high pressure zones to low pressure zones. It does not have a source, it is produced by differences in pressure between different areas.
Which area experiences the smallest seasonal variation in insolation solar energy?
Polar areas
Why do the areas near the equator receive more solar energy?
the sunlight hits it directly.
What is the source of most of the atmosphere energy?
Complicated question, with many details to think about... But in short, gravitational power in connection earth and air combined with light from the sun. Hot air goes up, and thereby change the presure... Cold air head for the low presure areas... And alot of wind is being generated... This is the cause for most of the energy. But there are many other factors too giving energy to the atmosphere to a less extent... Northern light is nice too, but there the energy also comes from the sun, but via ions end electric fields in combination with the magnetic field created in the ground under influence of the gravitation in connection to the the moon. And there is light and cosmic radiation etc... Another source of energy for the atmosphere is comming from earth itself... Radioactive decay and also solidification of the molten part of the inner earth releases energy in the form of heat. In turn giving some extra energy for the atmosphere.
Does solar energy come from the sun or from wind?
Wind energy and solar energy are alternative energy sources they are NOT the same, solar energy comes from the suns heat while wind energy comes from the wind. Solar energy is generally collected with solar panels while wind energy is generated when the wind turns wind mill like structures that in turn, turn turbines that generate electricity.
Energy source can be used in the greatest number of areas?
solar energy
Which source of energy is used in coastal areas?
moving water
In volcanic areas groundwater heated by magma is source of?
geothermal energy
Why geothermal energy is unlikely to become a main energy source?
Areas that are not geologically active do not produce enough energy to meet our needs.
In volcanic areas groundwater heated by magma is a source of what?
In volcanic areas the heated water is a source of escape for the volcanic gases. Water heated by magma gets very hot and needs to have a place to go or the ground will explode.
Why is electricity commonly used as source of energy in urban areas?
Electricity is not exactly the source; it is the way energy is transported. The reason electricity is used is because it is an easy way to transport energy from one place to another.
How could geothermal energy source used?
Geothermal power can only be used in some areas.
Where is a source of hydropower energy commonly used?
Usually in geographical areas with mountains and a lot of rainfall.
Which energy source is the most widely used for heating and cooking in rural areas of South Asia?
wood
What important liquid energy source is found under many desert areas?
Petroleum (oil) is a resource found under many desert areas.
How is nuclear energy distributed?
uranium is nuclear energy's source it is mined in areas like Canada, Brazil, Australia and etc that's all I know hoped it helped :)
Due to the Earth's shape and orientation areas near the equator receive the greatest amount of energy from the Sun. Ocean currents?
help to distribute this energy by warming other regions of the globe.
