Across
- 2. environment that is hot and high humidity
- 3. environment that is hot and low humidity
- 5. weather tool used to measure humidity (the amount of water vapor in the air)
- 7. the part of the water cycle when water vapor cools off and turns back to liquid. It can also be called dew.
- 8. how a mineral appears
- 9. any resource that comes from Earth.
- 12. weather tool used to measure air pressure
- 20. weather tool used to measure precipitation
- 22. weather tool used to measure wind speed
- 23. climate zone that is moderate temperature that change with the season.
- 24. type of clouds that are flat and gray. They can bring rain and drizzle all day.
- 26. all the water on earth eventually ends back in the ocean.
- 27. movement of rock by gravity, wind, water and ice.
- 29. the conditions in the atmosphere at a particular time and place
- 34. resources that cannot be replaced. It takes millions of years to form (rocks, fossil fuels, metals, oil, coal, gas)
- 35. weather tool used to measure temperature
- 36. breaking down of rock by wind, water, ice, temperature and ice.
- 37. weather tool used to measure the wind direction
Down
- 1. climate zone that is cold, dry and minimal precipitation. Farthest from the equator
- 4. resources that can be replaced quickly (water, sun, wind, plants, animals)
- 6. environment that is very cold and low humidity
- 8. general weather of an area over a long period of time (years)
- 10. environment that is hot/moderate with high humidity
- 11. how minerals break along a smooth flat surface.
- 13. rock made from broken pieces (sediments),dead plants and animals and form layers.
- 14. climate zone that is warm, can be wet or dry, found near the equator.
- 15. rock made from heat and pressure within earth's crust.
- 16. environment that is cold/moderate with high/low humidity
- 17. type of cloud that is feathery and white (high up clouds). May see rain or snow in 24-48 hours
- 18. environment that is moderate with moderate humidity
- 19. type of cloud that is white and puffy. Seen in fair weather days.
- 21. the part of the water cycle when water heats up and turns to gas (water vapor)
- 25. when scratched on a streak plate the color of the streak
- 28. rock formed from magma and lava
- 30. the part of the water cycle when the clouds become saturated (very full of water) it falls from the clouds (rain, snow, sleet, hail)
- 31. the ability for a mineral to scratch or be scratched. Soft minerals can be scratched with a fingernail. Harder minerals need a nail or harder mineral(like a diamond) to scratch it.
- 32. how minerals reflect light. Can be described as shiny, sparkly, dull, earthy
- 33. type of clouds that produce thunderstorms
