  1. 7. results in fluids and objects moving in an apparent curved path rather than a straight line
  2. 8. wind zones between 60 degrees N latitude and the North Pole, and 60 degrees S latitude and the South Pole
  3. 13. is the change in pitch or frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of a wave, such as sound or light, as it comes toward or goes away from an observer
  4. 14. is a narrow band of fast wind
  5. 15. is a large volume of air that has the same characteristics, such as humidity and temperature
  6. 18. measures temperature using either the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
  7. 19. measures air pressure
  8. 20. lines of equal temperatures
Down
  1. 1. is created by applying physical principles and mathematics to atmospheric variables and then making a prediction about how the variables will change over time
  2. 2. is the long-term average of variations in weather for a particular area
  3. 3. an instrument used for gathering upper-atmospheric data
  4. 4. short-term variations in atmospheric phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on Earth
  5. 5. wind systems on Earth located between latitudes 30 degrees N and 60 degrees N, and 30 degrees S and 60 degrees S
  6. 6. is a record of weather data for a particular site at a particular time
  7. 9. measures humidity
  8. 10. a narrow region between two air masses of different densities
  9. 11. measures wind speed
  10. 12. is based on a comparison of current weather patterns to similar weather patterns from the past
  11. 16. lines of equal pressure
  12. 17. the area over which the air mass forms
  13. 18. two circulation belts of wind located between latitudes 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S
