Question

8.How is the sun responsible for wind power and fossi fuels?

Answer 1

Sun is responsible for both wind power and fossil fuels.Sun is the ultimate source of energy on the Earth.

for Wind power : wind power or wind energy is used to generate electricity. by the use of wind energy wind turbines are moved and it convert the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical power.a generator can convert this mechanical energy to electrical energy.

when the sun shines Earth received its energy. some part of the earth receive more energy while some parts receive less energy. when Earth surface absorbs the Sun's energy it turns the light into heat.this heat is responsible to warm the air over it. as the air warms it expands and rise as a impact low pressure is created ,and the cooler air nearby flows to take the place(air always moves from high pressure to low pressure) this moving air is called Wind. Wind power is clean and renewable energy

Fossil Fuels are formed by the decomposition of buried dead organism by the natural process over million of years. it include plants and animals. the energy that we get from the burning of fossil fuel is actually is the energy of the sun which was the source of energy that made the trees grow and the animals are the consumers of these plants.it is same as that when we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the Sun,fossil fuels are also release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun.
