The strength of a hurricane typically decreases when it moves over cooler ocean waters, which provide less heat and energy needed for its maintenance. Additionally, when a hurricane encounters land, the friction and disruption from the terrain weaken its structure. Changes in wind shear, which refers to variations in wind speed and direction at different altitudes, can also disrupt the storm's organization and lead to a reduction in strength.
