I have to do a paper on the topic in the title with the focus on energy transfer that drives large-scale internal and external global processes on the Earth. However, I do not understand what this means. Can anyone please shed some light on the focus?
My professor gave us links on some articles on the following, are they related to the focus of the paper?:
* Sun’s effect on the atmosphere, the water cycle, photosynthesis, atmosphere, ozone layer and formation of the solar system
* The force of gravity
* Earth’s interior and its effects on plate tectonics, volcanism
To those who tell me to do my own homework, I will. I just need to clarify what “energy transfer that drives large-scale internal and external global processes on the Earth” means.
@Peter Do you think that my professor wants me to focus on how the sun’s energy affects the processes on Earth?

I tacking an educated guess here and say its the energy from the sun, or the sun in general.
without it the solar system would have been formed, life would have flourished, the sun effects the water cycle, the atmosphere even the weather, gravity has to do with mass, so gravity always exist with mass, and the larger the mass the more effect has on it, so the sun gravity effects daylight, sun started the formation of the planets, all the added heat from collisions power plate tectonics still today, ie. magma and the earth core, created by the fusing of our core and the core of a smaller exoplanet (which we now today call the moon)
hope that help some
overload and unnecessary materials.
