Water evaporates off lakes wind blow across the planet where does the energy come from for those and other weather processes?

A. Heat from earth's core

B. Solar energy

C. Cold currents in the ocean

D. Rising cool air creating a cold front

Due to Solar energy, water evaporates off lakes wind blow across the planet where does the energy come from for those and other weather processes.

Option B

Explanation:

Sun is the source of energy for most of the geological processes that are taking place on earth's surface. Sun's rays fall on each and every part of earth at least once a day. This leads to heating up of that area. Now, lands are heated up quicker than water bodies. This leads to heating up of the air above the land surface.

This leads to upward rise of the heated air and a temporary local vacuum or low atmospheric pressure is created. This leads to the air of surrounding areas which are at high pressure to rush to the area. Thus sea breeze, land breeze etc and even bigger cyclones, hurricanes, tornados etc are created.
