Across
  1. 6. Winds that blow from west to east between 30 and 60 degrees latitude
  2. 7. steady winds in tropical latitudes that blow toward the equator from the 30 degrees north and south
  3. 8. Regions of high pressure and gentle winds at about 30 degrees north and south latitude
  4. 11. Systems of winds created by higher temperatures and where winds blow to
  5. 12. Prevailing winds that blow from east to west between 60degrees-90degrees latitude in both hemisphere coming from the poles.
  6. 13. movement of air from land to sea at night, created when cooler, denser air from the land forces up warmer air over the sea
  7. 15. Area above the equator where little wind occurs (due to rising warm air)
  8. 16. An imaginary circle around the middle of the earth, halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole
Down
  1. 1. The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air
  2. 2. Systems of winds created by lower temperatures and where winds blow from
  3. 3. movement of air from sea to land during the day when cooler air from above the water moves over the land, forcing the heated, less dense air above the land to rise
  4. 4. Winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of Earth's surface within a small area
  5. 5. bands of high-speed winds about 10 kilometers above Earth's surface
  6. 9. The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
  7. 10. Boundary at which cold polar air meets the warmer air of the middle latitudes
  8. 14. Produced by the movement of air between the equator and the poles.
