Cyclones
Across
- 3. moisture in the air forming tiny droplets of water.
- 5. violent Atlantic tropical storm.
- 8. effect due to the Earth’s rotation causing air and currents to change direction.
- 9. distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator.
- 10. boundary separating air masses for which several characteristics differ, such as air density, wind, temperature, and humidity.
- 11. difference between warm & cold water or warm & cold air. Why cold is heavier than warm.
- 13. the part of the land near the ocean; the edge of the land.
- 14. great circle of the earth that is everywhere equally distant from the two poles and divides the earth.
- 16. driven by differences in density and pressure.
- 17. stream a fast, narrow current of air flowing from west to east that encircles the globe.
- 18. gasses held around planet earth by gravity, filtering what is allowed in and out.
Down
- 1. violent Pacific tropical storm.
- 2. energy moving in a persistent and predictable direction.
- 3. a circular storm that forms over warm oceans with winds that can destroy buildings and rip out trees by their roots.
- 4. large body of air with similar temperature and humidity characteristics that covers a wide area.
- 5. how much water is in the air.
- 6. effect of temperatures fluctuating less where land is adjacent to larger bodies of water.
- 7. horizontal movement of air.
- 8. to make denser.
- 12. cloud on the ground
- 15. take in or soak up energy.
