What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
Does cold weather cause hurricanes?
No, cold weather does not cause hurricanes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. Temperature contrasts between warm and cold air masses can influence the strength and path of hurricanes, but cold weather itself does not create hurricanes.
Why do hurricanes usually decrease in strength fairly rapidly as they move from the ocean to land?
Hurricanes need a continuous supply of very warm, moist air to maintain their strength. The amount of moisture needed can only be found over warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from the fuel supply.
What do mountain do to hurricanes?
Mountains will cause a hurricane to rapidly lose strength. The downside is that the mountains will also cause the hurricane to drop most of its moisture in one area, resulting in extremely severe flooding.
What do low pressure zones at the equator and in sub polar regions cause?
Hurricanes

Do cold seas cause stronger hurricanes?
Hurricane strength and frequency is generally associated with warmer ocean temperatures.

Can a hurricane be caused or magnified by weather or by geological processes?
In the long term, the movement of continents and associated landforms can influence the strength or cause of hurricanes.
Do hurricanes have a weather cause or a geologic cause?
Hurricanes are a weather phenomenon and thus have a cause rooted in weather.
What do mountain do to hurricanes?
Mountains will cause a hurricane to rapidly lose strength. The downside is that the mountains will also cause the hurricane to drop most of its moisture in one area, resulting in extremely severe flooding.
How can you put the word hurricanes in a sentence?
Hurricanes cause a lot of damage when the hit land. Each year many hurricanes cause damage to buildings.
What kind of water does a hurricane need to keep its strength?
Hurricanes needs warm water below them to keep their strength. Moist warm air rising from the sea is what builds hurricanes.
What do some scientists blame for an increase in the strength of hurricanes?
Some scientists attribute the increase in the strength of hurricanes to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures fuel the intensity of hurricanes, leading to more powerful storms.
Why do hurricanes have name's?
Cause they do.
Do hurricanes or tornadoes cause more damage in the US each year?
hurricanes cause more damage they can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis
