Name two possible ways energy is used when it is absorbed at the earth's surface

Energy is used to drive the climatic factors i.e heat budget of the earth and as internal recharge.

Explanation:

The energy that is directly falling on the planet is being absorbed, stored and re-radiated from the surface o the planet. The short waveform energy adds up light, heat and drives the earth's landscape by creating a denudational effect on the outer surface.  Its sue to the impact of sun's rays that leads to the pressure cells being activated and also its impact on the ocean water surface is huge as the water is more mobile than the land surfaces hence,  it tends to heat more and warm the water at greater depths thus channeling life forms beneath. Apart From this the earth also reflects this energy by re-radiating the same energy which it uses to recharge itself over the night and hence maintain a balance of pressure and temperature from within. Various processes like the upwelling of lavas and other weather phenomena such as cyclone and natural floods are also related to the sun's cycles and the green house effect is a creation of the same phenomenon.

This would be an open primary. a closed primary people can vote only prior to election day if the party if they are registered. independent voters can not participate. there is not a wide-open primary, but there is a semi-open primary.
