What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What factors determine how much of the sun's energy we receive in a given area?
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
Is the shifting of the earths crust with the release of energy a p wave?
no it's an earthquake.
What is the earths most important non removable energy resource?
oil and gas
What is the way the sun's energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What is a light that forms ------- that earths receive from the sun?
Energy
What does the amount of energy in the atmosphere depend on?
the amount of energy absorbed by the sun and the amount of energy that escapes the earths atmosphere.
What are 3 factors that cause the amount of solar energy to vary over earths surface?
The fact that the sun's rays spread out in a huge region is because light energy spreads, it doesn't go straight.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
What is the earths one energy source?
The SunThe radiation we receive from the Sun. Most of the energy we use comes from there.
When the amount of energy receive from the sun and the amount of energy return to space are about equal it is called what?
radiation balance
What layer of the earths structure produces the greatest amount of thermal energy?
the mantle
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
Longwave radiation.
Does all parts of the earth receive equal amount of energy?
no
Which organism in the food web receives the least amount of energy from the produces?
Tertiary consumers receive the least amount of energy from producers.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
