The primary reason is that the hurricane is cut off from its source of energy: moisture from warm ocean water. Increased friction slows the winds to some degree as well.

First, hurricane do not "touch down," tornadoes do. Hurricanes can cause flooding even if they do not make landfall simply because they are very large. While a landfall is only counted if the center of the storm strikes land, rains heavy enough to cause flooding can extend several hundred miles from the center.


What force can cause things to slow down?

Friction is the force that can cause things to slow down. When two surfaces are in contact, friction creates resistance that opposes the motion of the object, leading to a decrease in speed.


When a hurricane hits land most of the damage is caused by what 2 things?

Storm Surge is a major contributor to tropical cyclone damage. Hurricane Sandy for example cause much of it's damage along the coastline of New Jersey by its high storm surge of nearly 11 feet. Farther inland during the storm high winds can down trees and cause more damage. Rain can also cause damage. Hurricanes with a lot of rain can trigger landslides and overflowing rivers which can lead to unstable ground and erosion. There is not 2 primary things that cause the most damage. All of the factors of hurricanes are damaging.

What factors would most likely cause a hurricane to decrease its strength?

Cooling sea surface temperatures, increased wind shear, or dry air moving into the storm are factors that can weaken a hurricane. Additionally, encountering land or interacting with other weather systems can also cause a hurricane to decrease in strength.

Can a hurricane break down a house?

Yes, a hurricane can potentially break down a house if it is strong enough. High winds and heavy rain associated with hurricanes can cause significant damage to structures, particularly if they are not built to withstand such powerful forces. It is important for homes in hurricane-prone areas to be built to code and fortified to minimize damage.
