A hurricane needs warm water to exist so if it moves over land (especially mountains) it loses its power source and loses strength (generally pretty quickly, unless it is able to get back over water). The same goes if it moves over cold water (or stays in the same area of ocean for too long, because it mixes up the water and brings cold water to the surface).
