Hurricanes weaken when they are not over warm water or are over cooler water. (You couldn't have a hurricane in an area that is not near warm water). When they come to land the energy from the wind is lessened by the land formations as both land and cold water cut off a hurricane from the warm water the provides its energy.

Hurricanes also strengthen the most where there is little wind shear to disrupt them.

Saffir-Simpson Scale is used to measure the strength of which type of storm?
Hurricane strength.
Does air pressure increase or decrease towards the center of the hurricane?
Air pressure decreases at the center (eye) of a hurricane
How does the low pressure associtated with a hurricane help them grow big and powerful?
Air in the atmosphere tends to move toward low-pressure regions, which would increase the winds surrounding a hurricane. Air in the atmosphere moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air rushing toward a hurricane causes the hurricane to grow in size and strength.
What is the Relationship of millibars to hurricane strength?
A millibar is a unit of pressure. The lower the pressure in a hurricane, the stronger the storm.
What causes density to decrease?
an increase in volume and/or a decrease in mass
What will cause a hurricane's strength to decrease?
the colder the water gets
What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
Do hurricane winds decrease more over cold water or warmer land?
Hurricane winds decrease faster over land.
What is the definition of a hurricane rating?
An official report on the strength of a hurricane.
What factors would most likely cause a hurricane to decrease its strength?
Cooling down. This can be from moving to cooler waters, or moving over land, which will also reduce its energy.
Does barometric pressure decrease during a hurricane?
Yes.
What category hurricane did Irene make it to at the height of its strength?
A peak strength Irene was a category 3 hurricane with 120 mph sustained winds.
Do pull ups decrease height?
no never, it will increase the body height. when we pull and leave the body strength it causes gravity an the body stretches .
What determines the strength of a hurricane?
wind speed
What causes more damage a tornado a hurricane or an earthquake?
A hurricane
Does barometric pressure increase or decrese during a hurricane?
decrease
What causes a hurricane to gain size and speed?
when the water is at about 80 degrees f, and when wind circulates it causes a hurricane
