Thermal Energy transfer and equilibrium

The Sun is the Earth’s primary source of energy. The sunlight that hits the Earth is absorbed by the Earth’s surface. This causes Earth’s surface to heat up. It heats up differently depending what type of material absorbs the light. This uneven heating causes localized winds which can be easily be seen near coastlines. The diagram is a representation of the localized winds.
