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.
What would be a hurricane's enemy?
I'd say land. As hurricanes go over land, they become weaker and lose strength.
What is the strongest influencing factor for a hurricane to lose its energy and dissipate?
passing over cooler water or land
Why does a hurricane lose strength when it passes land?
It no longer has warm, moist air to draw energy from..
When a hurricane reaches land its intensity decreases as the result of?
PALCS does not allow cheating
What happen when a hurricane crosses over land?
It losses strength.

Does a hurricane lose its strenghth quickly over ocean water or land?
Hurricanes lose their strength quicker on land.

Do thunderstorms lose their strength when passing over land?
Yes, because they loose the source they draw from, the oceans.
How long can a hurricane travel over land classified as an F1 hurricane?
First, F1 is not a category used to classify hurricanes, it is used to classify tornadoes. You probably mean a category 1 hurricane. The farthest inland a hurricane has maintained hurricane strength was nearly 200 miles.
Can tornadoes lose strength as they move inland?
Tornadoes generally form over land and whether they are on land or over water has little effect on their intensity. It is a hurricane that weakens as it hits land.
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.
