passing over cooler water or land
A tornado can have stronger winds than a hurricane. The very strongest tornadoes have winds just over 300mph while a the very strongest of hurricanes have winds of about 190 mph or sometimes more However, tornadoes and hurricanes that strong are very rare.
In terms of energy released a large earthquakes is the strongest of those. However it is difficult to make comparisons because these are very different type of disaster.
Heat of water.
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from its power source.
Moisture evaporates from the water. The resulting warm moist air carries enormous amounts of energy. When this air is pulled into a developing hurricane it rises and as a result cools and condenses, releasing that energy.Energy of a warm sea is transferred to a hurricane by water evaporating into a hurricane.
In terms of energy output an earthquake is stronger.
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
The strongest type of extreme weather in terms of overall energy output would probably be a tropical cyclone (hurricane, typhoon, etc.). In terms of the violence of the event a tornado is the strongest.

No. A hurricane delivers kinetic energy.
As I understand it, hurricanes develop, and enlarge as a result of absorbing ENERGY in the form of HEAT from the water over which they travel.Therefore, the greater the heat, the greater the chances of a hurricane growing larger and more violent. And the converse of that is also true: As the temperature of the mass [water or land] over which the hurricane travels decreases, the greater the tendency for it to weaken and dissipate.
where on the earth is heat energy from the sun the strongest
To store, absorb and dissipate energy.
yes
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
A hurricane
