  2. 4. Winds curve this way in the Northern Hemisphere
  3. 8. A person who studies weather
  4. 10. The forward edge of an advancing mass of warm air that rises over and replaces a retreating mass of colder air
  5. 12. A weather instrument that is used to measure air pressure
  6. 14. Forms over land
  7. 17. Forms over water
  8. 21. Forms near the equator

  4. 6. A large body of air with similar temperatures, humidity, and air pressure
  5. 7. An air mass that forms over the water near the poles
  6. 9. Winds curve this way in the Southern Hemisphere
  7. 11. Winds that blow between 30° and 60° latitude in both hemispheres; they flow from west to east
  8. 13. Where air masses will meet but DO NOT mix
  9. 15. The forward edge of an advancing mass of cold air that pushes under a mass of warm air
