Weather has four primary elements

0 comments
Weather is made up of four elements that interact with each other.

The first is sun. The sun's radiant energy, or the heat produced by it, determines the state of the atmosphere.

Next the Earth comes, whose geometry influences the weather. Because the Earth's surface is curved and tilted, the sun's rays strike different parts of the world at different angles, and this causes changes in weather in different places.

The third element is the envelope of gases that surrounds the Earth, that we call the atmosphere.

The fourth element is the natural landforms, like mountains, valleys, oceans, and deserts that alter the state of the atmosphere. Interaction between these four elements results in changes in weather.
