Elements of weather
Across
- 1. force exerted on a unit area of the earth's surface by the weight of a clomn of air above it
- 7. extent of the sky that is covered by clouds
- 8. effect that large ocean bodies have on the climate of coastal areas
- 10. effect that continental surfaces have on climate of inland areas
- 12. distance of a point on earth measured north or south from Equator
- 15. average condition of the atmosphere of a place over a long period of time
- 17. water in any form that falls from the atmosphere to the surface of earth
- 18. visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere
- 19. a process in which water vapour changes to a liquid form by cooling
Down
- 2. occurs when warm, moist air is forced to rise over landforms suchs as mountain range
- 3. occurs when relative humidity is at 100 per cent
- 4. ratio between the actual amount of water vapour present in a mass of air and maximum amount of water vapour the air could hold at a given temperature
- 5. rate at which air is moving and is measured in kilometres per hour using an anemometer
- 6. wind that blows from the land to the sea
- 9. condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time
- 10. occurs when the earth surface is heated intensely
- 11. height of a place in relation to the sea level
- 13. process by which water is converted to water vapour
- 14. degree of hotness and coldness of a place
- 16. movement of air
