When ocean water is warm, a lot of water vapor evaporates from it. If air laden with that water vapor rises, as it often does it will cool and the water vapor will condense, which releases energy.

Does boil water gain or lose energy?
You have to put energy IN to keep it boiling, so the water molecules gain energy (from the heating source): the answer is 'GAIN energy' and NOT (as wrongly stated before) 'LOSE' it.water only looses energy when it turns into a solid.and adds energy when turning into a gas
What type of energy does water gain when it sits in the sun?
Heat energy
Do molecules gain or lose energy from evaporation?
Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
lose
Why does a tornado lose strength when it passes over land?
They don't. Hurricanes lose strength as they pass over land. This is because their gain their energy from the moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. When a hurricane strikes land it is cut off from this energy source.
How do landforms and bodies of water affect a typhoon?
Landforms and bodies of water affect typhoons based on what or how strong the energy is released by the landforms and bodies of water. Typhoons gain energy from warm ocean water and lose energy over cold water. Particularly, landforms lessen the strength of typhoons whenever the winds impact them
How landforms and bodies of water affect typhoons?
Landforms and bodies of water will affect typhoons very differently. A typhoon will typically gain energy and momentum from warm ocean water and will lose energy and momentum over cold water and interactions with land.
Do hurricanes gain energy?
Yes. Hurricanes gain energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. A hurricane could never develop if it were unable to gain energy.
Why are hurricanes more likely to strike NJ than OR?
Hurricanes gain their energy from warm ocean water. The water off the U.S. Atlantic coast is warmer than the water off the Pacific coast
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.
Does water gain energy when evaporated?
yes

How land forms and bodies of water affects typhoon?
Typhoons gain strength when over warm waters, but cool waters and land causes them to lose strength.

In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
How long does a typhoon take to form?
Typhoons and cyclones generally take from three days to tens days to form. They gain energy as they grow larger.
What do hurricanes need to gain strength?
The warmth of the ocean water (apex)
