Tornadoes generally form over land and whether they are on land or over water has little effect on their intensity. It is a hurricane that weakens as it hits land.

Tornadoes and hurricanes develop over which of the following?

Tornadoes develop over land, typically in the central United States within a specific type of thunderstorm called a supercell. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean waters near the equator, usually in the Atlantic Ocean. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are powerful natural disasters capable of causing significant damage.


How do hurricanes and tornadoes stop?

Hurricanes usually dissipate when they are cut off from the warm ocean water that fuels them through evaporation. This usually happens when the storm moves over land or colder water. Wind shear can also greatly weaken a hurricane. How tornadoes dissipate is not fully understood, but it is believed that outflow from a thunderstorm (either the one that produced the tornado or a separate storm) wraps around the parent circulation (mesocyclone) of the tornado, and essentially choking off the supply of warm air that drives the updraft.


Why type of land do tornadoes and hurricanes form over?

Tornadoes can form over just about any sort of terrain but tend to be more common in flat or gently rolling areas. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.


Why do hurricnes form over land?

Hurricanes do not form over land; they require warm ocean waters as a primary energy source. Once a hurricane moves over land, it typically weakens due to the loss of this energy source and the increased friction from land.


What do hurricanes and tornadoes form over?

Hurricanes form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form just about anywhere.


Movement over land weakens this weather phenomenon?

Fog. When wind blows over land, it can disrupt the temperature and moisture balance needed for fog to form, weakening its presence.
