Atmosphere

This article explores the concepts of energy and its various types, as well as how they relate to weather patterns. It covers topics such as potential and kinetic energy, heat transfer methods, and the Earth's energy balance. Additionally, it delves into atmospheric dynamics like air pressure, wind, and the Coriolis effect. The article concludes with an overview of weather fronts and their representation on weather maps.
