What else can I help you with?
Hurricanes eventually move back out to sea and blow themselves out?
Hurricanes can weaken and dissipate over time due to factors like encountering cooler waters or wind shear. As they move over land, they lose the warm ocean water that fuels their intensity. The friction from the land surface can also disrupt the storm's structure and cause it to break apart.
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.
Does a hurricane originate over water or land?
Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters, where the combination of warm air and water evaporation creates the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form. Once formed, hurricanes can move over both water and land.
Why does hurricanes go over land?
Hurricanes don't actually aim for land. They area around a hurricane has very low pressure. The pressure systems, both high and low, will steer the hurricane. High pressure will keep the hurricane away. Usually, land just gets in the way.
How do hurricanes lose energy?
Hurricanes lose energy when they move over cool ocean waters, encounter strong vertical wind shear, or interact with land masses. These factors can disrupt the organization of the storm, causing it to weaken and dissipate.
What weakens over land hurricanes or tornadoes?
Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
What usually happens to hurricanes as they move over land or cooler water?
They die down because they need hot moisure to continue their stormy weather.
What causes hurricanes to lose power?
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
How do travel on land?
Hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena. They move over land as they do over the oceans. However when they come over land, their source of energy is cut off so they lose their force.
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 happens to a hurricane as it move over land?
It weakens rapidly.
Can hurricanes go onto dry land?
Yes, hurricanes can move over land. As they make landfall, they typically weaken due to the loss of warm ocean water as their energy source. However, they can still bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surge to inland areas.
Can hurricanes travel over land and water?
yes they can and sometimes hurricanes get stronger when they travel on water.
Does a hurricane originate over water or land?
Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters, where the combination of warm air and water evaporation creates the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form. Once formed, hurricanes can move over both water and land.
Does hurricane lose their energy when they start to cross land?
Yes. Hurricanes loose energy fairly quickly as they move over land. Especially if it is mountainous.
