The kinetic energy of the wind (moving mass of air) is (usually) converted into electric energy.

Wind energy is derived from windmills, which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy.
Windmills use kinetic energy from the moving air to generate electricity. The wind turns the blades of the windmill, which in turn spin a generator to produce electricity. Potential energy is not directly used in this process.
Windmills convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the rotation of their blades, which turns a generator. This generator then converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that can be used to power homes, buildings, and other devices.
It converts to potential energy.
Potential energy is energy stored in an object based on its position or configuration, while kinetic energy is energy possessed by an object in motion. The main similarity between potential and kinetic energy is that they are both forms of mechanical energy.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.
Windmills transform the kinetic energy of the moving air mass into other energy forms.
Yes. If you drop them, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy.
A windmill converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy through its rotating blades. This mechanical energy can then be further converted into electrical energy, making a windmill primarily a kinetic energy conversion device.
One can convert kinetic energy to potential energy by lifting an object against the force of gravity. As the object is lifted, its kinetic energy decreases and its potential energy increases. This process involves transferring energy from the object's motion to its position in a gravitational field.
