Name two ways in which the Earth system relies on energy from the sun.
Answer (2)
All vegetable life, and therefore animal life, is based on the approval of sunlight, as plants (the primary consumers) perform photosynthesis, which is the process by which solar energy is converted into chemical energy , in the form of sugars. In this way, animals that feed on plants absorb solar energy. The second way the Earth absorbs solar energy is through its seas and oceans, which tempers the warm water and creates the warm ocean currents that carry the heat all over the planet.
Energy from the sun is essential for photosynthesis in plants and for heating the Earth's oceans, which regulates climate. This provides energy for plant and animal life and influences weather patterns. Therefore, sunlight plays a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth.
