Best Answer

Even though there is energy in almost anything, air is not usually considered to be a source or storage of energy.

Anything solid, liquid, or gaseous has heat energy.

Note: It is incorrect to say that air IS energy; rather, it HAS energy, in this case, heat energy.

How do hurricane's form and how do they get their energy?

Hurricanes form when there is a layer of cold air above a layer of warm air. The warm air wants to go up the cold air wants to go down. When there is a finger of hot air rising a complimentary finger of cold air will descend - this is what a hurricane is. When ever you have something falling from a great height you have a drastic release of energy. This is the energy of the hurricane. In the broadest sense the energy comes from the sun that heated the low lying air that favoured the warm/cold transfer, this is the energy that raises the warm air to a higher elevation. It is the energy released when the cold air falls that the hurricane is mostly known for.


What is the form of energy in moving air?

Kinetic energy. If you divide the air up into little elements, each element has a kinetic energy equal to 0.5 times the mass times the square of the speed.
