What is of source of energy that powers wind and flowing water?

Answer 1

Kinetic energy deals with motion hence powers the wind and flowing water.

Answer 2

The sun's rays heat the earths surface which in turn heats the air above the surface. The heated air expands and is less dense than the surrounding air which causes it to rise. Colder air floods in under the displaced air. The movement of these parcels of air is wind. There are many more factors involved such as moisture content (weather) and Coriolis force (clock wise around a high and counter clock wise around an area of low pressure) but it all starts with the uneven heating of the earth by the sun.

Answer 3

The sun powers the water cycle. It knocks water off the ocean surface into the atmosphere, providing the energy of evaporation. The sun also creates wind via differential heating of earth's crust, which makes areas of low and high air pressure. This causes the movement of moisture laden air over land masses. Where warm, moist air collides with a colder air mass, water precipitates in the form of rain or snow. This snow melts in the spring, again by solar radiation, and flows back into the oceans, completing the cycle.

Answer 4

it is solar energy
