Hurricanes derive their energy from
A)the latent heat of vaporization.
B)the latent heat of fusion.
C)the latent heat of condensation.
D)the latent heat of sublimation.
E)the latent heat of deposition.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hurricanes are fueled by the latent heat of condensation, which is the release of heat energy that occurs when water vapor condenses into liquid water as moist air rises and cools. This heat energy is what powers the storm's circulation and intensifies the winds.
