- 11. About 30 degrees latitude, air stops moving and sinks creating calm area
- 13. A front that stops moving or is moving very slowly
- 15. An air mass that is over water near the poles
- 16. Narrow belts of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
- 17. When a warm front is trapped by two cold fronts

- 19. Blow from a specific direction over long distances
- 20. Blow between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres
Down
- 1. Large body of air with similar temperatures, humidity, and air pressure
- 2. When a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass

- 7. A pressure system which everything flows outward and has calm weather
- 8. Detects precipitation intensity, wind direction and speed, and provides estimates of hail size, and rainfall amounts.
- 9. Blow between the poles and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres
- 12. As warm air spreads, it cools and sinks back down to the surface at the horse latitudes. The sinking air produces areas of higher pressure with drier conditions.
