Across
- 2. the atmospheric conditions along with short term changes of a certain place at a curtain time.
- 4. the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter.
- 6. current: a wind driven current that carries ocean water horizontally across the oceans surface.
- 9. the measure of the reflectivity of a surface.
- 10. shadows: an area of low rain fall on the downwind slope of a mountain.
- 11. westerlies: steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30 degrees N and 60 degrees N and 30 degrees S and 60 degrees S.
- 14. a boundary between two air masses.
- 15. the distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
- 16. winds: steady winds that flow from east to west between 30 degrees N latitude and 30 degrees S latitude.
Down
- 1. transfreer of thermal energy from one material to anotherby electrons waves.
- 2. the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
- 3. the long-term average weather conditions that occur in a particular region.
- 5. the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a material to another the circulation of particles within a material caused by differents in thermal energy and density.
- 7. the vertical movement of water toward the oceans surface.
- 8. effect: the movement of wind and water to the right or left that is caused by the rotation of earth.
- 11. easterlies: cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the north pole and south pole potential energy stored energy due.
- 12. masses: a large area of air that has uniform temperature, humidity and pressure.
- 13. current: the vertical movement of water caused by differences in density.
