-Where does the energy come from that drives the forces behind weather systems?
-This energy from the sun.(surprise!!)
-And affects heat transter in the atmosphere.
-first of all, lets talk about heat(temperature)
-Heat is a measure of how much energy the atom have.

-There are three methods of energy transfer occuring in our weather patterns.

conduction -the process by which highly energetic atoms or moleculers bump into(and thus transfering energy) to slower moving puticles.
Б@e.g. The molecles in the element of your store give energy to the fryny pm which gives energy to your eggs.

convection -the process by which highly energeticle move from one place to another.
Б@e.g. Warm air blowing out of your cais defrooler.

cadiation -the process of emitting light
Б@e.g. It's nice and warm in the sun.
