How is heat related to tornadoes?

Heat provides the energy required to form thunderstorms and thus tornadoes.


How does radiant energy and the ocean contribute to the formation of weather systems like hurricanes?

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.


What role does heat play in a tornado?

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.


What energy source do hailstorms use?

Hailstorms are a variety of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms get their energy from latent heat stored in water vapor.


Do hurricanes get their energy and heat from seawater?

Yes. Warm water holds enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat which can be made available to storms such as hurricanes.
