Across
  1. 6. layer of Earth's atmosphere that we live in and where weather occurs. wind speed increases but temperature and air pressure decreases as you move higher in this layer.
  2. 9. an air pressure system where dense air sinks generally causing dry and clear weather(high and Dry)
  3. 10. ocean current that brings warm water from the equator up along the east coast and over to Europe.
  4. 11. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
  5. 13. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter
  6. 14. created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation causes convection currents in the air
  7. 15. fast, narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in a west-east direction across the U.S.
  8. 16. day to day conditions in the atmosphere, including humidity, could cover, temperature, wind, moist low pressure air mass.
Down
  1. 1. the circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature warm, less dense, matter rises and cools, more dense matter sinks
  2. 2. an air pressure system where less dense air rises generally causing wet and overcast weather
  3. 3. ocean current that brings cold, nutrient rich water down from Alaska along the west coast.
  4. 4. brings thunder storms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind
  5. 5. the force exerted on the surface of earth by the air above
  6. 7. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding
  7. 8. boundary where two different air masses meet causing weather
  8. 12. ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wet winter
