Question 3 1 pts physical geographers study the physical components of the earth such as the air, water, rocks, vegetation and soil as well as the the natural processes of the earth. the main driving force behind these processes is energy from wind energy o fossil fuels o solar radiation o electricity

Option (3)

Explanation:

The sun is the primary source of energy. It allows all the natural processes to occur on earth. The components of earth such as the rocks, air, water, and soil are directly related to the amount of solar energy it receives. The geological processes affect the rocks by weathering and eroding them and the weathered particles are often transported to another place by the wind that acts like a transporting agent. This wind occurs because of the uneven heating of the earth that forms the low as well as the high-pressure zones. The plants and trees also grow when they receive a huge amount of sunlight in the presence of water and carbon dioxide, thereby initiates the photosynthesis process. It also provides the necessary minerals that are responsible for the formation of soil and enhancing soil fertility.

Thus, all these processes are directly dependent on the energy that is provided by the sun.

hence, the correct answer is option (3).

the proximity of water was an advantage to western europe and its culture was able to flourish as a result. trade and travel by sea were easier and safer in historical times.

1. there are no mountains to protect it from the sea

2. and its has wet cool summers and wet, mild winters.
