Hurricanes gain strength from the warmth of the ocean water.
It is because hurricanes thrive off of warm water. When hurricanes move over land, they are cut off from their fuel source making them weaken. When the hit warm water again, they suck up energy and strengthen.
Hurricanes maintain their strength with the moist air over warm ocean water. When they are over land they are cut off from this source of moisture and weaken. A hurricane that moves back over warm water regains access to this moist, energy-rich air and can restrengthen.
Hurricanes ger their energy from the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. When a hurricane hits land it is cut off from this energy source, which it needs in order to maintain its strength.

yes
Typhoons gain strength when over warm waters, but cool waters and land causes them to lose strength.
No, a hurricane is a very different type of storm from a tornado. A hurricane is a large, organized, and destructive system of thunderstorms that developed of tropical ocean water. The average hurricane is 300 miles wide. A tornado is a small (in weather terms), violent vortex of air that generally occurs on land. A tornado forms from a single storm cell and is 50 yards wide on average. Hurricanes, however, can produce tornadoes at landfall.
Yes, because they loose the source they draw from, the oceans.
Landfall is the main thing that causes hurricanes to lose power. Moving northward into cooler water also weakens them. These occur because hurricanes use evaporation from warm ocean water as their energy source. Vertical wind shear can also cause hurricanes to lose power.
The most dangerous type of cyclone is a tropical cyclone such as a typhoon or hurricane. Tropical cyclones develop by feeding on the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Moisture they cannot get over land. Upon hitting land these storm systems rapidly lose strength, so their worst impacts are usually confined to coastal areas.

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.
Hurricanes lose their strength quicker on land.
I'd say land. As hurricanes go over land, they become weaker and lose strength.
Because there is no water to fuel it.A hurricane needs warm humid air. That's the basic ingredient for a hurricane. Once it starts to go inland the warm humid air stops going to the hurricane.(Warm humid air is found near the ocean.)It starts to lose its speed while going inland because the warm humid air stops coming.
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.

Simply put: it weakens. If a hurricane comes in over land which is featurless, i.e. flatand, left to its own devices it will slowly weaken because the storm's energy comes from without. It is the temperature of the water that gives a hurricane its strength. If upon coming ashore it meets a cold front it will weaken quicker and depending upon the strength of the front the hurricane may just stall and dump its rain. If the land-form it crosses is mountainous then the hurrican will lose strength very rapidy as the mountain tops will tear the storm apart by disrupting the circular air flow. if you need a smaller answer then here you go... Currents can provide warm water that gives hurricanes energy
No, that is not true. As a hurricane makes landfall, it loses the heat and moisture of the ocean needed to fuel it, and weakens quickly. A hurricane can reenter the ocean, however, and regenerate.
No. Hurricanes lose strength when they move over land. Thunderstorms can easily form and become very strong over both land and water.
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from its power source.
YES
