Energy+in+the+Earth+System+3

4. Many phenomena on Earth’s surface are affected by the transfer of energy through radiation and convection currents. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know the sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on Earth’s surface; it powers winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle. b. Students know solar energy reaches Earth through radiation, mostly in the form of visible light. c. Students know heat from Earth’s interior reaches the surface primarily through convection. d. Students know convection currents distribute heat in the atmosphere and oceans.

Introduction
Waves carry energy but not matter from one place to another.Energy from the sun travels through space as electromagnetic waves you're gone learn about waves and energy, electromagnetic waves and visible light.

Waves and Energy
First of all, in the paragraph I amgoing to tell you about waves. Waves craete vibration be an object moving. Therefore, waves are distubance and tranfers energy one place to an other. The energy can also change or work. But the wavescarry energy and not matter. Then waves can also travele through vacuum which is in empty space. The waves travele through light as well. Although, the speed of light in vacuum is300,000km/s (186,000mil/s).

Electromagnetic Waves
Eletromagneteic radiation is energy transferred by waves that can be travaled through empty space. The radio waves have the longest wave lengths can carry the least amount of energy. To contain gamma Rays, Scientists use really thinking walls of lead to concintrate. The sun emits waves across the entier electromagnetic spectrum, which is a contihuows band that includs all types of electromagnetic rabiation. Scientitsts have developed technologes for both generatingand using different types of electromagnetic waves.

Visible Light
Visible Light is a mixture of colors. Which is a lower or higher energy colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. However, Visible Light also makes a very small part of electromganetic spectrum. Although, with a glass prism and the energy colors you can use it to separte the Visible Light into componet colors. Also Visible Light is as well called White Light.

Conclusions
I hope you like this informatiom and understand everything what is about sound waves. Due to the fact,how the energy travele through different sound waves. Bianca and Kendea
