Explain why air pressure and wind speed are affected by weather a hurricane is over and land or water?

Air pressure and wind speed are influenced by the presence of a hurricane due to the intense low-pressure system it creates. Over water, the warm sea surface provides heat and moisture, fueling the storm and allowing wind speeds to increase. Conversely, when a hurricane moves over land, it encounters friction and a loss of moisture, leading to a decrease in wind speed and a rise in air pressure as the storm begins to weaken. This interaction between the hurricane and its environment significantly affects its intensity and behavior.
