Answer:
When solar energy falls
on the water surface then evaporation of water from water surfaces like oceans,
rivers and other water bodies takes place to form clouds. The clouds are then
taken to distant places by air currents, and ultimately water comes back to the
surface in the form of rain and snow. During evaporation, a part of solar
energy gets converted into potential energy of water molecules. The potential
energy of water molecules gets converted into kinetic energy during rain and
snowfall.
Thus, energy of water flowing in a river is considered to
be an indirect form of solar energy.
