Jerome’s cousin lives in the northeastern United States. Jerome followed the path of Hurricane Sandy as it moved north over a period of several days. Next, he noticed that the hurricane had turned away from the ocean and had begun moving over the northeast United States. What condition might have caused this hurricane to change direction?

In the explained situation the reason why the hurricane turned away from the ocean and began moving over the northeast is:

Because the wind changed and pushed it into that direction

Explanation:

To understand this answer we need to understand a few things. First of all, hurricanes are made from the combination of cold and warm air. They follow the course of the global order settled by "el niño" and "la niña". Therefore they can be in constant change. Now, they can go from land to the ocean and that is the reason why they travel so much because they recover strength in the sea thanks to its winds.
