Recall that when water undergoes a change of state - that is, when ice melts or water freezes, or when water boils or water vapor condenses - a large amount of of heat is absorbed or released.

Which latent heat of water burns your hand when you get to close to a steaming tea kettle, powers hurricanes, AND provides the high latitudes with heat?

burns your hand when you get to close to a steaming tea kettle :- latent heat of vapourization

powers hurricanes :- Latent heat of condensation

provides the high latitudes with heat :-Latent heat of fusion

Step-by-step explanation

Water changes from liquid to vapor and enters the atmosphere. The energy required to make this change comes from the sun, and this energy is lying in wait( latent) ready to be released when the vapor is condensed into liquid again. This happens in rising air in a cloud or hurricane.

At higher latitudes, the melting of ice releases a huge amount of heat. This provides the heat to the higher latitudes.

Similarly, when holding a hot kettle, the steams although at same temperature posesses a huge amount of heat than water at the same temperature due to the additional latent heat of vapourization. This burns the hand.
