How does the sun cause ocean waves?
The sun cause wind, and the wind causes waves..The sun causes wind because as the sun shines down on Earth, it warms the surface and so our air warms up as well. Some parts of the world get direct rays from the sun all year round and are always warm. Some other places do not get direct rays; they receive in direct sunrays, so the climate is colder. The warm air, which weighs less than the cold air, rises up. Then cool air moves about and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.Ocean waves are caused by the wind, which is caused by the sun (see above). The energy of the wind passes over the wave and due to friction it brings the water up with it. Once the wind has passed over or can no longer hold the water up, it drops the water. That is how the waves are caused - this up and down motion. The factors that effect wave size are wind strength and wind surface area, obviously the stronger the wind the bigger the wave is going to be.
How did the 2008 tornado in Atlanta happen?
From March 14 to March 15, 2008 a slow pressure system moved across the eastern United States. The system drew warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and forced cooler air into it from further north, generating a cold front. The cold front sparked thunderstorms. Wind shear, a difference in wind speed and direction with altitude, set some of these storms rotating, turning them into supercells, the kind of storm that produces the vast majority of sigificant tornadoes. On the Evening of March 14 an isolated supercell produced an EF2 tornado that tracked through downtown Atlanta. The system continued on to rpduce several dozen more tornadoes in the Southeastern U.S.

What effects the climate has on Scotland?
What effects the climate (apart from the season) in Scotland and the rest of Britain, is the wind direction. When the wind is from the south-west, it has crossed the Atlantic Ocean, picked up a lot of moisture, and dumps it on Britain in general. Which is why Britain is a green and pleasant land! If the wind is from Russia, the Arctic, or the continent in winter, it brings cold and freezing conditions to Britain. So, wind direction is important and makes the weather a common, and very popular, talking point in Britain.
