Across
- 4. Clouds that form in flat layers and often cover much of the sky.
- 5. a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or in a gas.
- 7. The second-lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere.
- 9. The envelope of gases that surrounds Earth.
- 11. part of the ocean near the equator abounding in calms (
- 13. change from a liquid to a vapor
- 15. A boundary between air masses that don't move possibly causing rain for several days
- 17. The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid or gas
- 19. The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
- 22. air masses that are cold and dry due to their continental source region.
- 23. wind that travels great distances in steady patterns
- 25. The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere
- 27. 3rd layer of the atmosphere, where most meteorites burn up.
- 30. Air Mass is a type of tropical air produced over subtropical arid regions; it is hot and very dry.
- 32. Wispy, feathery clouds made of ice crystals that form at high levels.
- 33. A mass of rising warm air that usually bring wet, stormy weather.

- 35. The outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere.
- 36. A large body of air that has the same temperature and moisture level throughout.
- 37. a cooling breeze blowing generally in the daytime inland from the sea
- 39. Pattern of wind caused by landforms in a particular area
- 41. A front where cold air moves in under a warm air mass.
- 42. when a warm air mass meets and replaces an existing cool air mass causing steady rain
Down
- 1. The process by which a gas changes to a liquid. Forms clouds.
- 2. A mass of sinking cool air that usually bring fair weather.
- 3. Release of harmful materials into the environment
- 6. Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
- 8. The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.
- 10. The pre-fix for mid-level clouds
- 12. air coming originally from polar regions but having humidity and temperature properties modified by passing over relatively warm oceans
- 14. prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude.
- 16. When a cold front and a warm front meet while they are moving
- 18. airmass originating over tropical oceans and characterized by high temperature and humidity
- 20. dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.
- 21. Clouds that form in flat layers and often cover much of the sky.
- 24. The lower part of the thermosphere
- 26. the job of supervising or taking care of something, such as an organization or property.
