'Latent heat' means heat that is absorbed but does not result in a temperature increase. A good example of latent heat is boiling of water:
H2O(l) + heat = H2O(g)
However, the temperature remains at 100 deg C while water is boiling, so that the heat being consumed is used to vaporize water and not to increase the temperature of the liquid.
Latent heat can be added to the atmosphere by evaporation of water. Since a water molecule contains more heat at a given temperature than an air (N2 and O2) molecule, its presence increases the heat content of the air without changing the temperature.
Water vapor in the atmosphere is extremely important. It is water vapor that changes into both liquid and solid cloud particles that fall to the Earth as precipitation. When water vapor changes to liquid water or ice, it releases large amounts of latent heat. Latent heat is a huge source of atmospheric energy that is needed for storms, thunderstorms or hurricanes to form. For each kilogram of cloud particles that form, over 120,000 calories are given off. When water vapor evaporates from the ocean or a lake or a river, that water vapor may be transported far from the original point of evaporation. It might be transported from warmer, tropical areas all the way to polar regions. At this point, the water vapor would be cooled and would condense, releasing latent heat of condensation. So what started out as evaporation of water many miles south, could end up prompting a snowstorm in Canada!
It is the energy needed for evaporation
Evaporation from warm ocean water transfers latent heat from the ocean into the atmosphere, and this is released when the moisture rises and condenses out into clouds and precipitation.
**_The difference in the temperature of the mouth and the cold water at 0C. When we have ice cream in our mouth, the ice cream absorbs a lot of heat as your mouth has a higher temperature equivalent to a high amount of heat but when you keep the same in water at 0C which does not have much temperature = does not have much heat ,the ice cream is not able to absorb much and appear colder to the mouth than water at 0℃. Hope this will help you. Hope you got correct answer._**
Yes.
Igneous an Metamorphic are the two types of rock that are formed with the help of heat .

What sunlight does is it aids in the development of clouds, and can help with severe weather. What the sun does is it provides latent heat. Latent heat is heat that rises off the ground. If you have ever seen a mirage or a picture of one, than you have seen latent heat. Notice that it looks like waves rising off the ground, that is your latent heat. Hopefully this helped your understanding.
Two forms of heat transfer help create a sea breeze are conduction and convection. Another form of heat transfer help create a sea breeze is radiation.

Do your own science homework! Getting people on the Internet to do it for you will not help you pass a test! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion
It doesnt
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
Evaporation has a cooling effect... sweat is liquid which means it could evaporate... if it evaporates then it will have a cooling effect :D
Thunderstorms help our planet because they keep things moist and rotating. They keep recycling water and they keep the grass green and the animals fed.
Hair follicles help with sweating. There is a sebaceous gland on each hair follecule which releases oils onto the hair, which allows the oils to go up to the skins surface. When this oil evaporates it cools the skin because of its latent heat.
Yes it makes both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock!
One latent function of public schools is socialization, where students learn social norms, values, and behaviors that help them integrate into society.
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, cools and condenses to form cumulonimbus clouds. As the clouds continue to grow, they can develop into thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. The instability in the atmosphere and the presence of a lifting mechanism, such as a cold front or sea breeze, help to trigger the formation of thunderstorms.
