Why does a hurricane begin to when it reach land?
Hurricanes are developed and powered, so to speak by seas. Therefore when there are no seas present hurricanes become weakened and die.
Where do hurricanes begin?
Hurricanes begin as clusters of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters near the equator. As the warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure system that starts to rotate due to the Earth's rotation. If the conditions are right, the storm can strengthen and develop into a hurricane.
What causes hurricanes to lose power?
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
What line of latitude do hurricanes generally begin to form?
Hurricanes generally begin to form around the equator, typically between 5 to 20 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This is where the warm ocean temperatures and coriolis effect provide the necessary conditions for hurricane development.
What was the name of the 1935 hurricane?
The hurricane that hit Belize in 1931 did not have a name. Hurricanes did not officially have names until 1953. The one in Belize was a Category 4 and killed about 2,500 people.

Why are hurricanes referred to as cape-verde?
Hurricanes usually originate as disorganized clusters of thunderstorms called tropical disturbances. In the Atlantic, many of the disturbances that become hurricanes develop as the move over the ocean from Africa near the Cape Verde Islands. Hurricanes that begin in this manner, called Cape-Verde type hurricanes, are more likely to become major hurricanes than other Atlantic hurricanes.
What causes hurricanes to lose power?
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
