1.
Biomass is the remains of dead organisms. These organisms grow using energy from the food chain, which ultimately gets its energy from the sun via photosynthesis.
Waves are caused by wind, which in turn is caused by differences in pressure due to different amounts of radiation (from the sun) absorbed at different places on the earths surface.
2.
Radioactive sources (from radioactive elements created before the solar system)
Geothermal (mainly left over heat from radiation, and from the creation of the planet)

i might say an extremely stable proportion of the flexibility for geological methods obtains from the warmth on the planet's midsection, much less from the sunlight. Gravity isn't a source of power; potential (the flexibility won by utilising being above a gravity source) is. Why? because of fact those materials create power, and the character of remember reveals issues to do with them.
