When the eye of a hurricane moves over land, it is called landfall.
Can a hurricane slow down if it moves over land?

Is a hurricane an example of kinetic energy?

What happens to a mountain in a hurricane?

Why does a hurricane reach its lowest pressure over water?
Warm ocean water is the source of power for a hurricane. If a hurricane moves over land it will be cut off from that power source, causing the storm to weaken and the pressure to rise.
How does the low pressure associtated with a hurricane help them grow big and powerful?
Air in the atmosphere tends to move toward low-pressure regions, which would increase the winds surrounding a hurricane. Air in the atmosphere moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air rushing toward a hurricane causes the hurricane to grow in size and strength.
What happens to a hurricane when it moves inland?
The hurricane weakens when it moves inland due to friction and lack of warm water.
What moves faster hurricane or a tornado?
Tornadoes usually move faster. The average tornado moves at 30-35 mph while the average hurricane moves at about 20 mph.
