Winds and Clouds
Across
- 4. blow steadily over long distance; global wind belts
- 6. temperature at which air is fully saturated because of decreasing temperatures
- 8. blow over short distance; land and sea breezes
- 10. steady winds from west to east between latitude lines 30ᵒN and 60ᵒN and 30ᵒS and 60ᵒS
- 11. amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor the air could hold at a temperature
- 12. movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
Down
- 1. form when water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or ice crystals
- 2. cold winds that blow from east to west near the North and South poles
- 3. steady winds that flow from east to west between 30ᵒN latitude and 30ᵒS latitude
- 5. water, in liquid or solid form, that falls from the atmosphere; common types include rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow, hail
- 7. high winds near top of troposphere generally flowing west to east and are able to influence the weather
- 9. Northern hemisphere global winds curve to the right; Southern hemisphere global winds curve to the left.
