Answer:

When it move on to land.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the driving forces of a hurricane is heat energy in oceanic surface waters. Warm water evaporates more quickly, and warm air rises. If it moves onto land it loses that warm water source, and so it will die down. The single most important factor in a hurricane losing energy is friction.

Answer:

Hurricanes happen when the oceans have been warmed during summer months. In the North Atlantic, hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, but most hurricanes happen during the fall. As a hurricane's winds spiral around and around the storm, they push water into a mound at the storm's center. Each year, on average, 10 tropical storms, of which six become hurricanes, develop over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico from June to November. Many of these remain over the ocean; however, about five hurricanes strike the United States coastline every three years.
