No. Tornadoes are not driven by heat from the ocean. Hurricanes, however are. You could say that hurricanes turn heat from the ocean into wind, though the real explanation is a bit more complicated.

How is the balance of heat energy maintained in the ocean?

The balance of heat energy in the ocean is maintained through various processes such as solar radiation heating the surface, heat exchange with the atmosphere, ocean currents redistributing heat, and mixing of water layers through wind action. The ocean acts as a heat reservoir, absorbing and releasing heat to regulate its temperature and maintain balance.


What is energy in the ocean distributed by?

Energy in the ocean is distributed by a combination of factors such as ocean currents, wind patterns, and solar radiation. These forces drive the movement of water and influence temperature gradients, which in turn affect ocean circulation and distribution of energy. Heat transfer, evaporation, and precipitation also play a role in the distribution of energy in the ocean.
