Answer:

Latent heat plays a very important role in thunderstorms and hurricanes. Clouds form when warm air rises and its water vapor condenses into particles called cloud condensation nuclei.

Answer:

Latent heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Hurricanes are a low pressure that is formed in warm oceans and the source of this energy is water vapor. Water vapor serves to be the food to the hurricanes because they release the latent heat of condensation.
