What is the source of Energy for All Of The Processes that Occur on the Earth's surface?
None of those is really a "source" of energy; those are only ways in which energy is transported. Earth gets most of its energy from the Sun, through radiation.
Where does the energy for life processes come from?
The ultimate source of energy for life processes comes from the sun. This energy enters the earth's food chains through photosynthesis.
What scientific information explains how matter and energy flow through the biosphere?
The world is round so it has no end so energy goes in a circle around the earth.
What is the abiotic factor that provides energy for nearly all life on earth is?
Ultimately, sunshine is the energy source for most life.
What form of energy do plants get directly from the sun?
All forms of energy on earth other than nuclear energy, gravitational energy, and electromagnetic energy originate from the sun. The sun is a partial source of some of these on earth as well, but not all of them. Of the forms of energy obtained from the sun: * solar energy is the most direct, and is energy radiated to the earth from the sun * wind energy is primarily caused by thermal effects from the heat radiated from the sun * hydroenergy (from hydropower stations on rivers) is from potential energy created by the evaporation of water (by the sun) that then rains into catchments for hydropower dams * wave energy is created by thermal effects from the sun and the earths core and to a lesser degree gravitational effects from the earth, sun and moon * biological sources of energy are from plants that use the energy from the sun, water and CO2 to store energy by creating glucose and then more complex carbohydrates. All biological sources of energy are dependant on this process. Animals get their energy from these carbohydrates or from other animals that have eaten carbohydrates. Even the oil extracted from the earth for energy is biological in origin and predominantly comes from ancient plants that have been condensed through geological processes into a concentrated energy rich form. Even other sources of energy, such as chemical reactions, require some energy to get them started, or to get the materials brought into a condition where they will react, and the origin of this is almost always the sun.
Heat energy trapped by particles in the atmosphere warms the Earth naturally through?
which of the following describes characteristics of the stratosphere
Energy that travels through the earth?
earth
How is the suns energy transferred?
The sun transfer heat through radiationAnswer'Heat' is not transferred. Rather, 'heat' describes the process of transferring energy. So, your question should read, 'How does the sun transfer energy to earth?", and the answer is by radiation.
What term Describes the amount of energy available to heat the earth's land water and air?
Energy budget
How potential energy arises from the earth?
potential energy arises from the earth through gravitational pull.
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).
Describes the movement of water through Earth's hydrosphere?
hydrologic cycle
How does geothermal get its energy?
It gets it from the earth when you go through it you will manley get it from the earth.
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.
How does energy travel through earth?
producers (autotrophs)are the sole point from which the energy enters into the earth and ecosystem and the one way flow of energy takes place when food travels between different trophic levels...
What word describes something like the earth which will not let light travel through it?
Opaque
How does from an earthquake reach Earth's surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
