Scientists estimate that a cyclone/huricane/typhoon releases energy at the rate of about 1 PetaWatt (1015 watt)/day or 115740740741 watts/second.

This is equivalent to 70 times the world energy consumption of humans/day and 200 times the worldwide electrical generating capacity/day, or to exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes.

Does hurricanes get their energy from warm air over land?

Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. As the warm water evaporates and rises, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere, which drives the storm's circulation and intensifies its strength. Warm air over land can contribute to thunderstorms and rainfall associated with hurricanes when they make landfall, but the primary energy source for hurricanes is warm ocean water.


Do hurricanes make tornadoes?

Yes. It is fairly common for hurricens to produce tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.


Do hurricanes gain energy?

Yes, hurricanes gain energy from warm ocean waters. As the warm air rises and condenses, it releases latent heat, which provides the energy needed to strengthen the storm. This process is what fuels the intensification of hurricanes.


How do hurricanes lose energy?

Hurricanes lose energy when they move over cool ocean waters, encounter strong vertical wind shear, or interact with land masses. These factors can disrupt the organization of the storm, causing it to weaken and dissipate.
