Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
Where energy on earths surface comes from?
The sun & the Earth's core.
What percentage of the suns energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by earth surface?
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.

Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
Is energy absorbed or reflected when the sun's rays strike the earth's surface?
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
When the Sun's rays strikes Earth's surface energy is reflected or absorbed?
absorbed

When the suns rays strike earth's surface energy is?
Absorbed
When the sun rays strike the earth's surface energy is?
Absorbed
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
