the impact of the suns energy

other sources of energy:

Geothermal (0.013%)

Tides (0.002%)

waste heat from fossil fuel consumption (0.007%)

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

atmospheres the processes above the earth

hydrosphere the processes involved with the water

lithosphere the processes within the rock structure

biosphere the interaction of living plants and animals

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

atmosphere- winds creation of weather systems

hydrosphere- precipitation increase in the amount of water torivers

lithosphere- heat rocks subjected to mechanical weathering

biosphere- photosynthesis plant growth
