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

What happens when hurricanes form over land?
Nothing. Hurricanes can't form over land.
What happens to hurricanes when they were in land and then went to the ocean?
Hurricanes that strike land weaken rapidly. If they re-emerge onto water they have the opportunity to restrengthen.
Can hurricanes go onto dry land?
Yes, hurricanes can go onto dry land, but don't last very long once this happens.
Why does a hurricane begin to lose energy when it reaches land?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from its power source.
Where do hurricanes mostly occur on land?
Hurricanes do not occur on land. They are only water storms and blow into land.
What happens when hurricanes form over land?
Nothing. Hurricanes can't form over land.
What happens to hurricanes as they move over land?
it weakens

Why does a hurricane begin to die when it reaches land?
Hurricanes are developed and powered, so to speak by seas. Therefore when there are no seas present hurricanes become weakened and die.

What happens when hurricanes go out to sea?
Hurricanes start out at sea to begin with. However, sometimes a hurricane will hit land, though it usually does not stay a hurricane for long if that happens, and then go back out to sea. When that happens the storm may restrengthen, though that doesn't always happen.
What weakens over land hurricanes or tornadoes?
Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
What happens to tropical cyclones as they hit land?
When a Hurricane hits land, it creates huge waves, very heavy rains, and can cause flooding. Afterwards the storm will weaken rapidly.
