  1. 3. currents they are the result of differential heating.
  2. 5. It is the measure of hotness and coldness
  3. 6. it is the layers of gases surrounding a planet.
  4. 8. The part of the earth's atmosphere which extends from the top of the troposphere to about 30 miles above the surface and in which temperature increases gradually to about 32° F and clouds rarely form. The HORSE LATITUDES are the latitudes about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. They are characterized by sunny skies, calm winds, and very little perception The SOUTH POLE is the southernmost point on the Earth. It is the precise point of the southern intersection of the Earth's axis and the Earth's surface. From the South Pole, all directions are north. The MESOSPHERE is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere.
  5. 11. Something moving in the opposite direction of the hands on a clock.
Down
  1. 1. the sun shines on different latitudes at different angles throughout the year
  2. 2. JETSTEAMS, a belt of strong upper-level winds lying above regions of subtropical high pressure. The NORTHERN HEMISPHERE contains North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia.
  3. 4. it is a circle that divides the surface of an object into two equal halves.
  4. 7. it is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions.
  5. 9. THERMOSPHERE is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. A CONTRACT is an agreement between parties, creating mutual obligations that are enforceable by law. POLAR CELLS can be defined as an asymmetry in molecular composition or structure between two sides, thus defining a polarity axis along which cellular processes will be differentially regulated. CLOCKWISE: Two-dimensional rotation can occur in two possible directions. Clockwise motion proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. TRADE WIND: A wind blowing steadily towards the equator from the northeast in the northern hemisphere or the southeast in the southern hemisphere, especially at sea. PREVAILING WESTERLIES are the winds in the middle latitudes between 35 and 65 degrees latitude EXPAND: to increase in size, number, or importance, or to make something increase in this way: The air in the balloon expands when heated.
  6. 10. easterlies They are dry and cold prevailing winds that blow from the east.
  7. 12. troposphere is the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere of the Earth, and contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere
