Across
  1. 4. This jet stream flows nearest to the Equator
  2. 8. Cities in this area experience more mild summer and winter climates due to their location near the ocean
  3. 9. In this type of system, air rises and cools producing rainy weather
  4. 10. This process creates clouds when water vapor cools and changes from a gas to a liquid
  5. 11. The continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, the land, the oceans, and living things
  6. 13. This movement of ocean water is caused by winds that change local temperatures and humidity
  7. 17. When liquid water changes into water vapor
  8. 18. This type of front forms when a cold air mass pushes up a warm air mass and creates cool weather
Down
  1. 1. This weather influence is caused by unequal heating of Earth's surface and can occur locally or globally
  2. 2. In this type of system, air sinks slowly down, spreading out and creating warm weather
  3. 3. When rain, snow, sleet or hail falls from the clouds onto Earth's surface
  4. 5. A large volume of air in which temperature and moisture content are the same throughout
  5. 6. This jet stream flows closer to the poles in the summertime
  6. 7. Warm water in the ocean fuels this type of natural disaster
  7. 11. This type of front forms when a warm air mass follows a retreating cold air mass
  8. 12. The curve of winds due to the Earth's rotation
  9. 13. This type of front is created when two air masses remain in one place and generally produces clear weather
  10. 14. These are long-distance winds that travel above global winds for thousands of kilometers
  11. 15. Cities in this area experience more extreme summer and winter climates because they lie farther away from the ocean
  12. 16. The boundary of an air mass
