Question

1. Lisa is making a drawing the to show how currents of air move from tropical regions to the polar regions. She wants include the source of the energy that causes

these wind currents. What source of energy should Linnea show in her drawing?
A: thermal energy from Earth's mantle
B: electromagnetic energy from the Sun
C: kinetic energy from the rotation of Earth
D: gravitational energy from the sun and moon

Answer 1

B: electromagnetic energy from the Sun

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, Lisa is making a drawing to show how currents of air move from tropical regions to the polar regions. She wants to include the source of the energy that causes these wind currents. The source of energy Linnea should show in her drawing is electromagnetic energy from the Sun because the sun is typically the source of a very large percentage of the energy that reaches the planet Earth.

Therefore, this energy derived from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic energy cause currents of air to move from tropical regions to the polar regions.
