Earth energy

Heats the earth.

The surface reflects heat

Becomes a major source of fuel

Darker colored surfaces over heat

Thermal energy causes plate tectonics to move

Plants have carbon dioxide and water

Makes energy from the sun

Creates photosynthesis

This creates chemical energy

Can also create cellular respiration

Makes high levels of energy

Surfaces above the earth are heated

Air is heated

This causes evaporation

When it cools clouds are formed

Can also result in precipitation

This heats troposphere and that contains water vapor and dust.

This is what causes weather

Can also heat oceans
