Solar fusion is the fuel of a hurricane.
The release of latent heat during condensation fuels hurricanes. This heat release lowers the
pressure, which causes more convergence, more uplift, and even more release of latent heat.
The contrast between cold and warm air masses creates a temperature difference that creates
an energy gradient. This heat release lowers the pressure, which causes more convergence,
more uplift, and even more release of latent heat.
The contrast between humid and dry air masses creates an energy gradient the fuels
hurricanes.
