Are any of the properties of liquid water responsible for the nature and tremendous power of hurricane like storms?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) February 15th, 2019

We observe storms that are similar to our hurricanes on other planets. Some of these storms are made up of other liquids.

Is there anything about liquid water, in particular, that would make it more likely than another element, or molecule to begin churning into a city crushing weather system?

Is it all about gravity, tides, wind currents, and any liquid will suffice?
