Latent heat is thermal energy that cannot be detected by temperature difference. In earth's atmosphere much of the latent heat is held by water vapor. In other words: warm, moist air holds a large amount of energy in the form of latent heat. It is this energy, released by the condensation of water vapor, that powers thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are what produce tornadoes.

Can jet streams cause a tornado?
The jet steam cannot cause tornadoes. However they play a role in the production of them.
What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?
The energy comes from the sun and from the heat from Earth's interior.
What role does heat play in the rock cycle?
Heat energy from the sun causes water to change to a liquid to a gas
What are four kinds of severe weather?
Tornado, Hurricane, Blizzard, and Supreme Heat.
Can you stop a tornado by adding high heat?
No, adding high heat in the area of a tornado, or even directly into a tornado, would not stop it.

What role do atoms or molecules play to the transfer of heat?
They vibrate rapidly.
What role does vegetation play in the water cycle.?
The vegetation's role in the water cycle is cooling the heat of the rain
What is the role of gravity in a tornado?
nope
What role do convection currents play as you heat a pot of water?
The role convection currents play as you heat a pot of water is transferring heat by movements of a liqiud or a gas because when when convection occurs it occurs in a circular pattern.
How does pressure and heat play a role in the processe of nuclear fusion?
heat and pressure is what causes the hydrogen molecules to move faster
Are there many Tornado games for kids to play?

What is the point of a tornado or hurricane?
The role that hurricanes, tornadoes, and other types of storm play is to redistribute energy within the atmosphere, working to maintain equilibrium.
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?

What role does heat play in bread making?
The heat increases the yeast production making it rise and be fluffy. The less yeast you put in the flatter the bread will be.
What role does heat play in the rock cycle?
