Explanation / Answer

69. Answer is all of the above.

Latent heat :

a)moves via advection from one place to another. It can be transported from one place to another, That is the reason of most of the precipitation in the polar latitudes.

b)serves as a way of moving energy from place to place without disturbing areas in between. During the latent heat transfer, the places between them are not disturbed and the energy is not lost. When water evaporates it absorbs energy and when it freezes it releases its energy.

c)provides the fuel for the storms. It makes the air in the cloud warmer compared to the outside, thus forming convection cells. This leads to the mid-latitude storms.

d)can be traced to the hydrological cycle. The cycle deals with the circulation of water in the form of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
