  • Sun. Primary energy source that drives all weather events
  • Atmosphere is divided into layers that are based upon their temperature gradient
  • Sunlight. the energy that heat most earth surface
  • During radiation, electromagnetic waves transfer heat and light energy which affect the air temperature
  • The moon gravity. main source of energy for wind current
  • Convection in the atmosphere causes a change in air density, resulting in winds
  • Cool air above the ocean sinks and warm air above the land rises
  • Air pressure affect the speed of wind
  • The Land heats and cools more quickly than the water
