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.

Do hurricanes begin to lose strength when they hit land?
YES
Do thunderstorms lose strength as they pass over land?
No. Hurricanes lose strength when they move over land. Thunderstorms can easily form and become very strong over both land and water.
What would be a hurricane's enemy?
I'd say land. As hurricanes go over land, they become weaker and lose strength.
Which Texas areas are effected by hurricanes more often?
The portion along the Gulf of Mexico feels the greatest impact from hurricanes, as hurricanes quickly lose strength after they hit land.
Why does a hurricane lose strength when it passes land?
It no longer has warm, moist air to draw energy from..
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.
Do hurricanes begin to lose strength when they hit land?
YES
Does a hurricane lose its strenghth quickly over ocean water or land?
Hurricanes lose their strength quicker on land.

Why are hurricanes most likely to affect islands and coastal regions?
Hurricanes are systems the develop over tropical ocean water and quickly lose strength when they hit land. Therefore most of their impacts on humans will be on islands and in coastal areas.
What causes hurricanes to lose power?
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
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.
