Atmosphere Part One
Across
- 2. Warm air rising - clouds and rain
- 3. Warm and cold air masses stay put
- 8. H2O in the gas state (clouds & precipitation)
- 12. Easterly winds from 90 to 60 degrees
- 15. Large storm storms in the northeastern US
- 17. Blanket of gases that surrounds Earth.
- 20. Tiny particles of dust and salt(clouds)
- 23. Middle layer of atmosphere - meteors
- 25. A warm air mass moves over a cold air mass
- 27. Gas in the stratosphere that blocks UV radiation.
- 28. Earth's rotation deflecting wind or water
- 29. - Highest layer of the atmosphere - satellites
- 30. 2nd lowest layer of atmosphere - ozone
- 32. Convection cells between 60 and 90 latitude
- 33. Gas that makes up 78% of Earth's atmosphere.
- 37. Dry air mass that forms over land

Down
- 1. Circular patterns of air movement
- 4. Air mass that forms over warm regions
- 5. High altitude winds that affect the weather
- 6. Moist air mass that forms over water
- 7. Cool, dry air sinking - calm weather
- 9. When two different air masses interact
