Wind is generated


What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?

The ultimate source of heat energy that causes winds is the Sun. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to variations in air pressure. These pressure differences then drive the movement of air, creating winds.


What does the sun's heat do to planet earth?

The sun heats the earth with radiation. This heat is necessary for earth to sustain life. Also, uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind.


How does the sun heat the earth unevenly?

The Earth's tilted axis causes the sun's rays to hit different parts of the Earth at different angles, which leads to uneven heating. This results in variations in temperature between regions, creating weather patterns such as winds, ocean currents, and precipitation.


How does temperature affect the climate?

The heat from the sun causes the surface of the earth to warm up and with the amount of green houses there are it causes the heat from the sun to trapped and that causes global warming.


What causes the movement of the air over the earth's surface?

Heat from the Sun.


When does the earth receive less heat from the sun?

when earth absorbs the heat coming from the sunthere is too much moisture in the air3.when the clouds reflect the heat back to the space


The sun's heat energy causes surface water on the earth to change into water vapor?

evaporation


Does the sun heat the earth evenly or unevenly?

unevnly because some things are closer to the sun than others take the ifle tower for instance what do you think would be heated more the ifle tower or the flat ground??


What does the earth radiate?

The Earth radiates energy similarly to the sun. Some of the Earth's material breaks down constantly, which causes heat. This is the source of Earth's internal heat, and what drives plate tectonics.


Why does the earth's surface heated unevenly?

The Equator, and the poles receive different amounts of heat because they are at different positions on Earth and the farther away you are from the Sun, the less heat you receive, so it's hotter near the Equator than the North/South Poles.


What source of energy on earth causes the water in a lake to evaporate?

The heat from Sun favors water evaporation.
