Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. As the warm water evaporates and rises, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere, which drives the storm's circulation and intensifies its strength. Warm air over land can contribute to thunderstorms and rainfall associated with hurricanes when they make landfall, but the primary energy source for hurricanes is warm ocean water.
Hailstorms are a variety of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms get their energy from latent heat stored in water vapor.

Hurricanes are described as heat engines because they draw their energy from warm ocean water. As the water evaporates, it releases heat energy that powers the storm's circulation and intensifies the winds. This process is similar to how a traditional engine converts fuel into motion.
Perhaps, but only to a fairly small degree. Heat transfer from the ocean occurs primarily through convection. The energy of hurricanes and thunderstorms comes from latent heat stored in water vapor.
Hurricanes transfer heat through the process of condensation of water vapor into liquid water, releasing latent heat energy. Additionally, hurricanes transport heat from the warm ocean surface to the upper atmosphere through strong convective processes like thunderstorms within the storm system.

Yes, hurricanes gain energy from warm ocean waters. As the warm air rises and condenses, it releases latent heat, which provides the energy needed to strengthen the storm. This process is what fuels the intensification of hurricanes.
Hailstorms are a variety of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms get their energy from latent heat stored in water vapor.
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.

Yes, hurricanes get their heat and energy from warm seawater. When warm ocean water evaporates and rises, it releases heat into the atmosphere, providing the fuel needed for hurricanes to form and intensify.
