Geography 12

3. State of atmosphere over a particular area in a short specific time range (day, hour..etc).
5. A geographical coordination system used to describe degree to which a place is north or south of equator.
9. A measure indicating the differences that exist between marine and continental climate due to increased range of temperatures that occur overland than on water.
12. Currents Movement of ocean caused by the horizontal and vertical movement of ocean waters, caused primarily by gravity, friction, and density of water.
13. Meteorological condition which persist at a particular area for a prolonged period of time (as opposed to weather, which describes day-to-day occurrences).
14. Any form of visible mass of water droplets, or ice suspended in air- at a height that is much higher than fog.
16. The movement of large packets of air caused by pressure.
17. A luxuriant forest, consisting of usually tall trees. The area is characterized usually by its high humidity and rather infertile soil.
18. One of the four seasons, and the warmest period of the year- between spring and autumn. For northern hemisphere, it exists between the summer solstice and autumnal equinox. For southern hemisphere, it exists between winter solstice and vernal equinox.

1. A type of overarching biome referring to any relatively large and dry land with few vegetation. (also include areas which is too cold to support vegetation).
2. Wind Winds that are generally blown to a single direction at a particular area.
4. Precipitation of liquid water drops.
6. A great band of circle around Earth which is perpendicular to its axis.
7. One of the four seasons, and the coldest period of the year- situated between autumn and spring. For northern hemisphere, it exists between winter solstice and vernal equinox. For southern hemisphere, it exists between summer solstice and autumnal equinox.
8. The totality of solar radiation given to a specific piece of land at a time (usually in hours).
9. A method of indicating the severity of temperature. The unit is based on centigrade temperature scale, which bases 0 degrees for freezing point of water, and 100 degrees for boiling point of water.
10. In general sense, the vertical distance of something. More specifically, in geography, altitude is used to describe the height above sea level.
11. Mass of cloud of small water droplets relatively close to the ground and relatively dense enough to reduce visibility.
15. Any relatively large mass of ice that originates on land.
16. A pure substance composed of oxygen and hydrogen. It exists in solid, gas and liquid on Earth and elsewhere. It has no color or taste.
18. crystallized form of liquid water.
