The energy is stored in the air as thermal energy. A supercell thunderstorm turns that into kinetic energy in the form of rotating wind. Under the right conditions that rotation can form a tornado.

What is tornado energy called?

If you mean to ask what type of energy is in a tornado it is kinetic energy, the energy of matter in motion. There is also something called CAPE, or Convective Available Potential Energy, which is the amount of energy in the air that can be used by a thunderstorm, including the ones that produce tornadoes. Aside from that there is no particular name for the energy in a tornado.

Is a tsunami stronger then a tornado?

In terms of overall energy output and destructive potential, yes.


When does a skydiver have the gratest potential energy?

A skydiver has the greatest potential energy when they are at their highest point, just before they start to descend. This is because potential energy is dependent on an object's height and the gravitational force acting on it.


When can potential energy exist?

What energy does the student have before he jumps of the bridge?

The student has potential energy before jumping off the bridge, which is due to their height above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as they fall.


What form of energy did the ball have before it was dropped?

The ball had potential energy before it was dropped. This potential energy was due to its position above the ground.


What type of energy is used before and after a ball is bounced?

Gravitational potential energy before the ball is bounced which changes to kinetic energy and then to elastic potential energy.


What are the forms of energy found in a tornado?

In a tornado, the main form of energy is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion of the swirling air. Additionally, there is potential energy in the form of the storm's convective updrafts and downdrafts, as well as thermal energy created by the temperature difference between the warm air at the surface and the cold air aloft.
