Question 1-8
The sun transfers energy to the Earth through radiation of electromagnetic waves. This energy is responsible for the heating and motion of the Earth's oceans
and atmosphere. The major cause of severe weather occurrences on Earth is-
O harsh winds created by the solar radiation as it passes into our atmosphere from space, creating a twisting wind pattern
O the uneven heating of the Earth, creating convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean
the direct radiation of the sun on clouds, creating severe rain and lightning
the indirect heating of the oceans by conduction from the landforms, creating a swirling, heating effect
