The water cycle occurs between the earth and the?
The water cycle occur between the earth and the air. It is a cyclic process.
How does water return to earth surface?
precipitation is when rain,snow,sleet or hail falls from clouds to earth!
What are the factors affecting solar cell output?
If you're talking about the whole Earth, there are not many that affect the amount of energy. One factor is in the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The Earth gets slightly more energy from the Sun at the Perihelion (the closest point to the Sun) than the Aphelion (the furthest point away from the Sun). Another factor is how active the Sun is. The Earth is likely to receive less energy from the Sun at a solar minimum than a solar maximum in the 11 year cycle of the Sun (because the Sun is outputting less energy).
Is snow a part of water cycle?
Yes snow is a part of water cycle. It reaches earth after precipitation
The hydrologic cycle and the carbon cycles?
recycle matter but not energy.
What is the energy cycle?
The movement of energy into and out of the Earth system.
What provieds energy for earths water cycle?
Sun provides energy for earth's water cycle. It provides thermal energy for evaporation.
Is energy a cycle or flow and why?
Energy does not move around in cycles. The reason is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Here is an example: The energy from the Sun comes to Earth, where it maintains life. From Earth, the energy is radiated out into space, where it gets more and more diffuse. This energy can't be recovered again; it won't get back into the Sun - and most of it will not participate in the creation of new stars, either.
What is the cyle in which matter and energy move through various steps on earth?
Biogeochemical cycle is the cycle in which matter and energy move through various steps on earth.
Isn't earth's rotation the main source of energy for the water cycle?
No. The main source of energy for the water cycle is the energy we get from the Sun.
How does food and energy pass around a cycle?
The matter of the food passes in a cycle; the energy does NOT. The energy comes from the Sun, is used here on Earth, and most of the energy is eventually radiated out into space. There is no cycle there.
How does the energy from the sun affect earth's water cycle?
Energy from sun supports evaporation. It is 1st step of water cycle.
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?
The energy comes from the sun and from the heat from Earth's interior.
What stores much of the energy in the Earth's water cycle?
oceans
What is the main energy supply for earth's water cycle?
the electric generater in the center of the earth
Water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again in a process known as the water cycle. Which of the following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
Solar energy
What energy source drives the cycle?
most of energy comes from the sun. The sun evaporates the earth's water...
