How sun is the ultimate source for ocean thetmal energy?
Answers
Explanation:
The solar Energy is the ultimate source of energy for most types of energies on earth. The uneven
heating of sun due to the curved geoidal shape of earth and the differential heating and cooling of land and water creates the pressure differences which lead to the setup of convectional wind systems.The winds can be utilised to rotate wind mills to generate electrical power. Thus the sun is the source of wind energy.It is the sunlight itself that provides the necessary energy to plants to produce their own food, the food which surgeons heterotrophs too. When plants and animals die ,their wastes can be used as fuel .Similarly the heat in oceans is also generated due to the sun .So the sun is also the ultimate source of ocean thermal energy.
