Weather
Across
- 3. A large body of air tha has similar temperature and water vapor throughout.
- 5. forms over land when a cool, dry high-pressure air mass collides with a warm, moist low-pressure air mass.
- 6. An air pressure system where less dense aire rises generally causing wet and overcast weather.
- 7. Movement of water between the ocean, atmosphere, and land where water evaporates into the atmosphere.
- 13. brings drizzly rain and leaves clear skies and warm weather behind when a warm air mass moves over a cold front.
- 14. Circular motion caused by density defferences where warm, less dense matter reises and cool, more dense matter sinks.
- 18. Produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused by uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
- 19. Day to day conditions in the atmosphere including humidity, cloud cover, temperature, wind, and precipitation.
- 21. The force exxerted on the surface of earth by the air above.
- 22. The apparent curving of a moving object's path from a straight line due to the earth's rotation.
- 23. Ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter.
- 24. An air pressure system where dense air sinks generally causing dry and clear weather.
Down
- 1. Similar air pressure system distributed across a latitude.
- 2. Abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a Hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding.
- 4. Digital tool used to track weather systems such as wind direction, speed, and size of storm.
- 8. Fast,narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in that direction.
- 9. Ocean current that brings cold, nutrient rich water down from alaska along the west coast.
- 10. Boundary where two different air masses meet causing weather.
- 11. Layer of Earth's atmosphere that we live in and where weather occurs.
- 12. Brings thunderstorms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind.
- 15. Ocean current that brings warm water from the equater up along the east coast and over to europe.
- 16. Mature trapoical cyclone that forms in areas of low pressure over warm tropical oceans.
- 17. Created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation. Causes convection currents in the air.
- 20. Ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing wetter winter.
