Kinetic energy
The primary type of energy used when you jump is mechanical energy. This includes both potential energy (stored energy from being lifted off the ground) and kinetic energy (energy of movement as you are in the air).
kinetic energy being enacted. this energy is giving rise to potential energy too, as the item is being lifted into the air. When an item is lifted, it is given potential energy, as this potential energy is what fuels its future descent. So, when moved, kinetic energy is both moving the object, and storing potential energy for future use.
Wind energy is a type of kinetic energy, as it is produced by the movement of air. Moving water generates hydropower, which is a form of mechanical energy. Falling rock releases potential energy, which then transforms into kinetic energy as the rock falls.
A balloon floating in the air is using potential energy, which is energy stored in an object due to its position. The balloon is being lifted by buoyant force, which is the result of the difference in densities between the helium inside the balloon and the air outside.
Yes, a kite flying in the air has potential energy due to its position in the air and its height above the ground. As it is lifted higher, it gains potential energy, which can be converted to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.
The type of energy caused by air molecules vibrating is called sound energy.
Orographic fog is produced when moist air is lifted over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form fog on the windward side of the barrier.
For a storm to develop, air parcels from the ground and the lower atmosphere have to get lifted to the higher atmosphere. The trigger for this to happen, is the instability of the air. warm air from the ground gets lifted while cold air from the higher atmosphere gets descended, thus the barycenter of the atmosphere gets lowered. The energy freed by this is the storm.
A windmill is a type of turbine that is used to capture the energy of moving air.

A falling rock. In the air it has potential energy, as it falls it gets kinetic energy.
When it moves it has kinetic energy. And when it is above the chosen reference level (for example, above ground level), it has potential energy. A common practical situation is that an object falls down. When it starts falling, it has only potential energy; when it reaches ground level, it has only kinetic energy. At any point in between it has both.
