Associate Professor Leah Moore from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) describes thermal energy as a mechanism for the sun's energy to enter Earth. This is part of a series of educational videos on energy and Earth's systems. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Earth processes – energy transfers and transformations.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
Processes within and between Earth systems require energy that originates either from the sun or the interior of Earth (ACSES045)
