The original source of energy that fuels large storms like hurricanes is the sun. Solar energy heats the ocean's surface, causing water to evaporate and create warm, moist air. As this warm air rises and cools, it condenses into clouds and releases latent heat, which further intensifies the storm and drives its development. This process is essential for the formation and strengthening of hurricanes.
