Nothing in particular causes a hurricane to hit land. The paths of hurricanes are influenced by large-scale wind currents, which include the global wind belts and the winds created by other weather systems. Sometimes the path of a hurricane happens to go onto land, and sometimes it doesn't. You tend to hear more about the ones that hit land because those are the ones that cause damage.
