Question

planet earth is called the blue planet because it has so much water. water drives the weather on earth. what is the energy source that drives the water cycle and gives us weather on earth? a ocean tides b energy from the sun c energy inside of earth d winds in earths atmosphere

Explanation:

The sun's energy causes evaporation (water turning into vapor). This vapor then condenses to form clouds and precipitation, which are key parts of the water cycle. Also, solar energy drives temperature differences that lead to wind (a factor in weather). Ocean tides (A) are mainly due to gravitational pull of moon and sun but not the main energy source for water cycle/weather. Energy inside Earth (C) relates more to volcanic activity, plate tectonics etc., not the water cycle/weather shown. Winds (D) are a result of solar - driven temperature gradients, not the primary energy source.

Answer:

B. energy from the Sun
