Why does the intensity of a hurricane diminish rapidly when it moves over land?
1) The air above the land is more humad than the an above the ocean.
2) The storm's source of warm, mnist tropical air is cut off.
3) Friction from the increased roughness of the land rapidly slows the storm's surface wind speeds
4) The land is warmer than the cosan where the hurricane originated
5) Friction from the winds over the land slows the storm's surface wind speeds
