It doesn't. A hurricane gains strength from warm ocean water. Warm water produces large amounts of water vapor, which is essentially the fuel of a hurricane. Cold water and land do not provide as much water vapor, so a hurricane will weaken if it encounters either of those.

What is a group of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters?
Hurricanes begin as a collection of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters (usually in the Atlantic) known as tropical disturbances.
Why does a hurricane weaken cool ocean waters?
In simple terms, hurricanes are fueled by water vapor. More vapor evaporates from warm water than from cold water. If water temperatures are less than about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, then there will not be enough water vapor to sustain a hurricane.
What will happen if a hurricane moving from over the ocean to over land?
A hurricane that move over land will rapidly weaken and degenerate into a remnant low pressure system.
How do cyclones Travel?
Cyclones usually travel over ocean waters on an average of 300 to 400 miles a day. They are the most strongest then, but when they travel over colder ocean waters or land, they will begin to weaken.
Did a hurricane ever hit Missouri?
No. Hurricanes only form over tropical ocean water and weaken rapidly if they hit land. Missouri is too far inland to get a hurricane.
Is hurricane happen on land?
No hurricanes form over the ocean. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.

Do hurricanes weaken because there winds are counteracted by the land and sea breezes?
No, hurricanes are fueled by warm ocean water so they weaken because they lose the warm ocean water on land. A hurricane controls the sea ocean breezes.
Why don't you get major hurricanes in England?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water in order to maintain their strength and weaken over cooler water. The waters between British Isles and the tropics are not warm enough to sustain a major hurricane.
What is a dramatic form of energy transfers involving the energy of warm ocean waters?
hurricane
What will happen if a hurricane moving from over the ocean to over land?
A hurricane that move over land will rapidly weaken and degenerate into a remnant low pressure system.
Where does a hurr icane come from?
A hurricane forms over warm, tropical waters, including the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean.

No. Hurricanes only form over tropical ocean water and weaken rapidly if they hit land. Missouri is too far inland to get a hurricane.
Does the ocean floor change after a hurricane?
In shallow waters it can. Sediments can be redistributed and sand bars washed away.
Under which conditions is a hurricane most likely to form?
In late summer over tropical ocean waters
