Hurricanes form over oceans because they are fueled by the moisture that evaporates from the warm water. They die over land because they are cut off from the fuel source.

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.
South Africa is a country on the continent of Africa, which is one big chunk of land in the middle of the world map (except for the islands of Madagascar, Mauritius and Reunion). Therefore, Hurricane Danny could not possibly have formed between Africa and South Africa. Africa is surrounded by two oceans, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Hurricane Andrew formed over water, as do all hurricanes.
Warm ocean water releases large amounts of moisture into the atmosphere. It is this moisture that fuels a hurricane. Air this moist is not found over land.
A hurricane can never form over land or over cold water.
No, tornadoes typically form over land in association with thunderstorms. Waterspouts, which are tornadoes that form over water, can occur in tropical oceans under specific conditions, but they are generally much weaker than tornadoes that form over land.

Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters, where the combination of warm air and water evaporation creates the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form. Once formed, hurricanes can move over both water and land.
No hurricanes form over the ocean. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.

Hurricanes usually occur in early fall and late summer over tropical oceans.
Tornadoes form in the Midwest. Hurricanes can't 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.
No, they can form over water. At that point it is called a tornadic waterspout.
