Yes. Mostly heat energy, some of which becomes wind.

What two factors determine the amount of solar energy that an area receives?
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
What is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans?
The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
Can radar pass through the earth's atmosphere?
yes
An element that is cycled through the atmosphere?
Phosphorus is not cycled through the Earth's atmosphere.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
Is phosphorus cycled through the earths atmosphere?
phosphorus is not cycled through the earth's atmosphere
How can energy be transferred through the atmosphere?
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
What type of energy is transmitted through the atmosphere?
Through the atmosphere rather than by the atmosphere, then that would be electromagnetic energy.
By what two processes is water cycled from land to the atmosphere?
Water in the water cycle enters the atmosphere through the processes of evaporation and transpiration.
What is the major way in which heat energy is spread through the atmosphere?
One way that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere is through radiation. Conduction and convection are two other ways that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere.
