There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.
1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)
2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).
3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).
I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
"The oldest rocks on this VFE are from the Conococheague Fm from the Cambrian period of geologic time. The Conococheague " These are both indicators of Tropical Climate and Shallow Marine. This is further explained below.
<h3>What is Tropical Climate?</h3>
Generally, The coldest month's average temperature must be at least 18 degrees Celsius (64.4 degrees Fahrenheit) for a climate to be classified as tropical, and hot temperatures prevail throughout the year.
In conclusion, "The Conococheague Fm of the Cambrian era has the oldest rocks on this VFE. The Conococheague Tribe of Indians "Climate and shallow marine environments are both indicative of a tropical climate

In general, physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.

Higher silica content means higher viscosity. But lower temperatures and low gas content mean higher viscosity. Hence, lower viscosity and low gas content mean higher temperature of magma.
