Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of air (wind) is one of the main driving forces of weather. The majority of major and even extreme weather events like cold & warm fronts, clouds, thunderstorms, and hurricanes are all driven by wind. Wind is the large-scale movement of air from an area of high to an area of low pressure in the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solar radiation is the fundamental energy driving our climate system, and nearly all climatic and biologic processes on Earth are dependent on solar input. Energy from the sun is essential for many processes on Earth including warming of the surface, evaporation, photosynthesis and atmospheric circulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sun is what makes the water cycle work. The sun provides what almost everything on Earth needs to go-energy, or heat.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the simplest terms, the Sun’s heat and Earth’s rotation lead to hurricanes. Near the equator, the Sun’s intense rays warm vast areas of ocean. The Sun’s heat causes ocean surface waters to evaporate. The warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses to form clouds.
