Across
  1. 2. the reason for the seasons we experience (2)
  2. 7. describes clouds in layers
  3. 12. that does not conduct electricity well - the term comes from "incoming solar radiation"
  4. 13. the time when there are 12 daytime hours and 12 nighttime hours in both hemispheres
  5. 14. scientist who studies weather
  6. 16. describes clouds at the top of the Troposphere
  7. 17. wind currents near the north & south poles that go in direction opposite to earth's rotation (2)
  8. 18. a boundary between 2 air masses (2)
  9. 20. describes lens-shaped clouds
  10. 25. describes thunderclouds
  11. 26. winds that move faster than earth's rotation
  12. 29. describes very cold and dry air mass
  13. 30. describes warm and dry air mass (cT) (2)
  14. 31. the condition of the earth's atmosphere at any particular time
  15. 32. of latitude, imaginary lines that run east and west across the earth (3)
  16. 33. describes dark clouds
  17. 34. generally the cause of most severe weather - occurs when cold air moves in a region of warm air (2)
Down
  1. 1. imaginary lines that run north and south across the Earth (3)
  2. 3. breeze that comes from land cooling faster than water (2)
  3. 4. occurs when 2 air masses traveling in the same direction collide (2)
  4. 5. where the earth is the farthest from the sun
  5. 6. breeze that comes from land warming up faster than water (2)
  6. 8. this occurs as a result temperature difference
  7. 9. occurs when warm air moves over cold air, causing long-lasting light rain (2)
  8. 10. a large body of air with relatively uniform pressure, temperature, and humidity
  9. 11. the way in which the rotation of the earth bends the path of winds, sea currents and objects that fly through different latitudes (2)
  10. 15. where the earth is the closest to the sun
  11. 19. describes cold and moist air mass (mP) (2)
  12. 21. describes cold and dry air mass (cP) (2)
  13. 22. describes warm air mass with high humidity (mT) (2)
  14. 23. describes fluffy clouds
  15. 24. the time when there is the most difference between daytime hours and nighttime hours
  16. 27. the typical condition that is present in a particular region of the earth
  17. 28. occurs when 2 air masses collide but neither one moves (2)
