Law of conservation of energy express that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. In this case, The Sun is a source of energy that controls the circulation of the atmosphere. The Sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, where a part is intercepted by the Earth-atmosphere system and converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and kinetic energy.

Solar energy is distributed on Earth, and responsible by the oceanic winds, that transport the heat from the tropics to the poles, to achieve an energy balance. These causes reside in the movements of the Earth in relation to the Sun, and also in variations in the surface of the Earth.

Answer:

Mockingjays

The mockingjay represents defiance in the novel, with the bird’s symbolism deriving initially from its origins. The mockingjay, we learn, came about as a result of a failed project by the Capitol to spy on the rebellious districts, and since then the bird has served as a reminder of this failure and the districts’ recalcitrance—Katniss describes them as “something of a slap in the face to the Capitol.” The mockingjay pin Madge gives to Katniss is at first an emblem of that resistance. Later in the novel, however, the birds come to symbolize a different sort of defiance. Mockingjays become a link between Katniss and Rue, with the two using the birds to communicate. When Rue dies, Katniss decorates her body with flowers as a means of memorializing Rue, but also to defy the Capitol. When Katniss later sees mockingjays, they remind her of Rue, and that memory inevitably stirs her hatred of the Capitol and her wish to rebel, and take revenge, against it. The mockingjay consequently takes on an additional layer of symbolism, representing not only a general rebellion against the Capitol, but also Katniss’s specific desire to defy it.
