Across
  1. 5. Found at 23 ½ degrees north, it’s the Northernmost point on Earth to receive direct sunlight
  2. 6. The earth’s crust and uppermost mantle
  3. 8. Side of the mountain with more precipitation
  4. 10. High ______(far from the equator) = colder climate, Low _____ (close to the equator) = warmer climate
  5. 13. Side of the mountain with less precipitation and a rain shadow
  6. 15. Block rain and wind. This creates a rain shadow
  7. 16. Latitude region of earth that has the dramatic seasons
  8. 18. Found at 23 ½ degrees south, it’s the Southernmost point on Earth to receive direct sunlight
  9. 20. Earth's water including water in the atmosphere
Down
  1. 1. Warmer winds and water in western North America and South America = warmer climate = more storms
  2. 2. The part of the earth where plants and animals live
  3. 3. Thin layer of gases that surround earth, where weather and climate occur
  4. 4. Type of boundary that moves like <--- --->
  5. 7. Places close to the ocean have more steady temperatures
  6. 9. Low _______= warmer climate; High ______ = colder climate
  7. 11. Type of boundary that moves like ----> <--- and creates mountains
  8. 12. Type of boundary that creates earthquakes
  9. 14. Type of boundary that creates trenches volcanoes and earthquakes
  10. 17. Latitude region of earth that has hot temperatures, high precipitation, lush vegetation and lots of sunlight
  11. 19. Latitude region of earth that has the poles and cold temperatures year round
