Across
- 4. radiant energy emitted by the sun.
- 5. The rapid expansion of air due to the superheating from the 50,000 degree temperature of the lightning bolt so the air particles slam into each other
- 7. water drops that are about 1000 times the size of a cloud drop.
- 8. an electric discharge between a cloud and the Earth a cloud and a cloud or even within the same cloud
- 10. Curving path of winds due to Earth’s rotation
- 12. the temperature at which water vapor condenses onto a dust, pollen, salt particle or even a cloud droplet.
- 13. when the air is so cold that water vapor changes directly to ice crystals.

- 1. like marina always over water
- 2. occurs after rain hits the ground, then it freezes on contact
- 3. when rain falls through a layer of very cold air and freezes before it hits the ground.
