The sun ray's are most responsible for Earth's surface temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What heats the earths surface and causes water to change states?
The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.
What process causes water on earths surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere?
The process that causes water on Earth's surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere is called evaporation. This occurs when the sun's heat energy causes water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from the liquid's surface and enter the air as water vapor.
What is The primary source of most of the moisture for the earths atmosphere is?
Oceans
By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
Geothermal heat reaches the Earth's surface through conduction, which involves the slow transfer of heat through the Earth's crust, and through convection, where hot molten rock rises towards the surface, bringing heat along with it.
What energy is created from the earths heat?
Geothermal energy is created from the Earth's heat. This renewable energy source harnesses heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity or provide direct heating.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
What heats the earths surface and causes water to change states?
The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
Hoe does air circulate around earths surface?
Heat from the sun
What process causes water on earths surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere?
The process that causes water on Earth's surface to change to gas and rise into the atmosphere is called evaporation. This occurs when the sun's heat energy causes water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from the liquid's surface and enter the air as water vapor.
An object that causes craters to form when it collides with the earths surface is called what?
A metior
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
How does the weight of the earths crust help to form metamorpic rocks?
Weight causes density, density causes pressure, pressure causes heat. Heat and pressure change rocks into other rocks, which are metamophic.
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
