Weather

3. The height of location. Usually given with respect to sea level.
6. Conversion of water (liquid) to water vapor (gas).
7. the conversion of water vapor into a liquid, creates clouds in the atmosphere.
9. A region that has relatively little precipitation because it is on the downwind (Leeward) side of a high elevation area, or mountain range.
12. A fast flowing air current high in Earth’s atmosphere that forms between latitude bands of rising and sinking air.
13. The Boundary between two different air masses. Most weather events in the middle to high latitudes are caused by the interaction of air masses along this boundary.
14. The force exerted on Earth's surface by the weight of the air above the surface.
15. This condition/region of air is created when a cold air mass sinks towards the Earth's surface.
16. Snowfall that occurs when cold air moves across the open waters of a large lake.

1. A huge body of air with uniform temperature, pressure, and humidity.
2. Facing away from the prevailing wind direction. The side the mountain or elevation increase that faces away from the wind.
4. When water falls from the atmosphere to Earth's surface.
5. Facing towards the prevailing wind direction. The side of the mountain or elevation increase that faces the wind.
8. When an air mass is forced to move from a low altitude to a high altitude by a land feature, resulting in cooling, condensation, and formation of clouds and precipitation.
10. The features of a land surface caused by changes in elevation such as valleys, mountains, and plains.
11. This condition/region of air is created when a warm air mass rises into the atmosphere.
