Why do hurricanes form over water and lose energy over land?

Hurricanes use the warm moist ocean air as an energy source so as soon as it hits land the moist air is no longer there. Although hurricanes lose energy over land, they still do devastating amounts of damage.


Does hurricanes start over cold land?

No, hurricanes start over warm water.


Why don't hurricanes develop over land?

Hurricanes need very warm moist air to form. The amount of moisture needed can only be found over warm ocean water.Hurricanes gain get their energy from the large amounts of moisture that eveporate from warm ocean water. There is not enough moisture over land for hurricanes to form or sustain themselves.


Why does a hurricane lose strength when it passes over land?

Hurricanes gain strength from the warmth of the ocean water.


Why does a hurricane begin to lose energy when it reaches land?

Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from its power source.


Tornadoes and hurricanes develop over what?

Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water. Tornadoes usually form over land.


Where do hurricanes die?

How come hurricanes are weaker in warm water?

This isn't true. Hurricanes generally get stronger over warm water. Hurricanes are fueled by the moisture that evaporates from this warm water.The weaken over cold water and over land because they don't have that supply of moisture.


Why do the hurricanes weaken as they move over land?

Hurricanes gain their strength from the heat contained in the warm tropical waters over which they pass. The heat of the sea is passed to the air and water vapour forming the hurricane. This source of energy is lost on land and the storm dumps its water on the land as it cools.


Why does a tornado lose strength when it passes over land?

They don't. Hurricanes lose strength as they pass over land. This is because their gain their energy from the moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. When a hurricane strikes land it is cut off from this energy source.


Does a tornado develop over warm water?

No, tornadoes usually develop over land. Hurricanes develop e over warm water.
