Across
  1. 4. These clouds are puffy looking and usually occur below 2,000 meters
  2. 7. Between latitudes 30* North and 30* South are two circulation belts of wind
  3. 9. When an air mass is forced to rise over a topographic barrier
  4. 11. A weather instrument that measures temperature
  5. 13. All forms of water that fall from clouds to the ground
  6. 14. Transfer of thermal energy between objects when their atoms or molecules collide
  7. 15. The lowest atmospheric layer and contains the most mass of the atmosphere
  8. 16. When cloud droplets collide and join together to form a larger droplet
  9. 18. The extra thermal energy contained in water vapor compared to liquid water
  10. 19. The outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere, this layer has no clear boundary and is found 500 km to more than 10,000 km above Earth’s surface
  11. 20. A collision of two air masses
  12. 21. The area over which the air mass forms
  13. 23. A narrow band of fast wind
  14. 25. A weather instrument that measures air pressure
  15. 26. Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of heated material from one place to another
  16. 27. Occurs when the amount of water vapor in a volume of air has reached the maximum amount
  17. 28. The wind systems on Earth located between latitudes of 30* North through 60* North, and 30* South through 60* South
  18. 31. The amount of water vapor in a volume of air relative to the amount of water vapor needed for that volume of air to reach saturation
  19. 33. This layer is located between 100 km to 500 km above Earth’s surface and the extremely low density of air causes the temperature to rise
  20. 34. Layered sheet like cloud that covers much or all of the sky in a given area
Down
  1. 1. Increase in temperature with height and atmospheric layer
  2. 2. Long term average of variations in weather for a particular area
  3. 3. Transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves
  4. 4. A small particle in the atmosphere around which water droplets can form
  5. 5. A weather instrument that measures the humidity
  6. 6. This effect results in fluids and objects moving in apparent curved path rather than a straight line
  7. 8. These clouds often have a wispy and distinct appearance as they form high in the sky
  8. 10. Air temperature decreases with altitude and is located 50 km to 100 km above Earth’s surface
  9. 12. The layer in which the air temperature mainly increases with altitude and contains the ozone layer
  10. 17. A weather instrument that measures wind speed
  11. 22. Amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
  12. 24. The wind zones between 60* North Latitude and the North Pole and 60* South Latitude and the South Pole
  13. 29. A large volume of air that has the same characteristics, such as humidity and temperature
  14. 30. Short term variations in atmospheric phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on Earth
  15. 32. Temperature to which air must be cooled at constant pressure to reach saturation
