The Power That Modifies, Influences, and Controls Climate Originates with the Sun

Multiple Choice

The power that modifies, influences, and controls climate originates with the sun. The amount of sunlight striking a particular area of the globe determines the level of warmth and ultimately the movement of air and the amount of precipitation. Because the earth is a globe that rotates about a tilted axis, the amount of sunlight striking the earth varies by region and time. Gary S. Moore, Living with the Earth, 3^rd ed.
