From the name, you can guess that the energy is in the form of electric and magnetic fields. The wave motion comes from the interplay between them - the rate of change of each causes the other, provided they propagate at what we call the speed of light. When the radiation is absorbed anywhere, it causes agitation of the atoms in the absorber, and we sense this as "heat". We run into the photon issue, where particularly at high frequencies the light appears to arrive in packets.
