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.
What stopped Hurricane Katrina?
After moving onto land Hurricane Katrina was cut off from the warm ocean water that was its power source. The storm weakened to an extratropical low before finally being absorbed by another system over the eastern U.S.
What develops over warm ocean water a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane. Tornadoes are more often a land-based phenomenon.
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.
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.
Is hurricane happen on land?
No hurricanes form over the ocean. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.
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.
Why does a hurricane happen at a low level coast?
Hurricanes form over the ocean and of if they impact land they impact the coast. When a hurricane hits a low level coast it will usually do more damage and therefore get more publicity.
What stopped Hurricane Katrina?
After moving onto land Hurricane Katrina was cut off from the warm ocean water that was its power source. The storm weakened to an extratropical low before finally being absorbed by another system over the eastern U.S.
What happen when a hurricane crosses over land?
It losses strength.
What develops over warm ocean water a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane. Tornadoes are more often a land-based phenomenon.
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.
How is a hurricane stopped?
People cannot stop a hurricane. Hurricane's though will stop naturally in a .number of ways: moving over land, moving over cold water, encountering wind shear, entrainment of dry air.
Does a hurricane lose its strenghth quickly over ocean water or land?
Hurricanes lose their strength quicker on land.
What will happen when ocean to ocean plates converge?
it creates more land
Where does a hurricane go afterwards?
A hurricane will follow its path until it loses all of its 'energy' and dissipates. This usually starts to happen right when it moves over land as it is now cut off from its 'energy' source. The energy comes from the warm ocean waters where it forms.
Why did hurricane Hugo happen?
Hurricane Hugo first formed on September 9, 1989. Hurricanes are a force of nature and they happen when certain conditions cause winds to build up over the water, then move onto the land. This is why Hurricane Hugo happened.
