the impact of the suns energy

The sun's energy significantly affects four primary spheres of Earth: the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. Each sphere experiences unique processes due to solar influence.

the impact of the suns energy

biosphere- photosynthesis plant growth

lithosphere- heat rocks subjected to mechanical weathering

hydrosphere- precipitation increase in the amount of water torivers

atmosphere- winds creation of weather systems

The influences of the sun on these spheres through the following processes will result in further impacts on each of the other spheres:

biosphere the interaction of living plants and animals

lithosphere the processes within the rock structure

hydrosphere the processes involved with the water

atmospheres the processes above the earth

the influence of sun on the earth can be separated into the examination of how four different spheres are impacted:

waste heat from fossil fuel consumption (0.007%)

Tides (0.002%)

Geothermal (0.013%)
