Across
- 4. circular patterns in which the surface currents flow
- 6. remains at 0 degrees latitude
- 7. a place that experiences no wind
- 11. a wind that reverses in summer and winter.
- 12. the unit of measurement to calculate pressure
- 15. a fall or shower of rain.
- 16. moderately or slightly wet
- 18. air in natural motion.
- 19. lines joining places of equal tempretures
- 20. a wind that blows from west to east between 30 and 60 degrees North and Sout
- 24. Incoming radiation from the sun
- 26. the degree of inclination, or the rate of ascent or descent.
- 27. to move upward
- 28. to move downward
Down
- 1. low-pressure cell
- 2. one of the main surface current
- 3. an imaginary line at 0 degrees latitude
- 5. A quality experienced in a high pressure cell
- 8. cold water rising to the surface from the thermohaline circulation
- 9. parallel to the surface of the earth
- 10. to move toward the same place
- 13. high-pressure cell
- 14. a protective layer surrounding the earth
- 15. the difference between the highest and lowest temperature
- 17. a climate region where there is less than 250mm of rainfall
- 21. when no hemispheres are tilted towards or away from the sun
- 22. transfer of heat as hot air expands and rises
- 23. transfer of energy by means of radiation
- 24. line joining places of equal pressures
