Question

___ drives most natural processes in the atmosphere, like the water cycle and weather phenomena.

Answer 1

Solar Energy

Further Explanation:

The temperature of the Earth depends on the balance which takes between the energy entering the entering planet and leaving it. When the earth absorbs the light of the sun, it becomes warm and when the energy of the sun is reflected back to space, the warming of the earth is avoided. There are many factors that are behind the change in the balance of energy of the earth.  

These changes are variations in the energy of the Sun, Changes in the reflectivity and Changes in the greenhouse effect. It is the Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane which absorbs most of the energy and that leads to slowing or prevention of the loss of the heat back to Space and it is because of that, the Greenhouse gasses act like a blanket and it leads to making the earth warmer.

Answer 2

Solar energy or energy from the sun drives most natural processes in the atmosphere. the heat from the sun causes air masses to rise. When hot air rises, cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. Heat from the sun is needed to turn liquid water into vapor, setting in motion the process of evaporation, which leads to condensation and precipitation e.t.c.
