Energy in the Earth’s Systems – How do external and internal sources of energy affect the
Earth’s systems
6.3 - Variations in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the Earth’s surface affect daily and
seasonal weather patterns.
Local and regional weather are affected by
the amount of solar energy these areas
receive and by their proximity to a large body
of water.
