Across
  1. 1. Sun warms Earth’s atmosphere as it reaches its surface. Energy moving in space
  2. 3. The thin envelope of gasses that surrounds the planet
  3. 5. Storm If the air is colder than 32 degrees F all the way to the ground, the precipitation falls as snow.
  4. 6. An overflowing of water that is normally in a dry area.
  5. 8. A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
  6. 10. A localized strom often accompanied by heavy precipitation, frequent thunder and dangerous lightning.
  7. 12. The movement of water through the roots of trees to leaves where it is released as a gas into the atmosphere
  8. 15. This movement of air parallel to Earth's surface
  9. 16. The change from a gas to a liquid
  10. 19. Conditions are right for producing severe weather, but the severe weather has not developed
  11. 20. Water is always moving between the surface of Earth and the atmosphere
  12. 23. A swirling center with a low pressure area where warm air rises and air pressure decreases. Winds spiral inwards from high pressure to the center.
  13. 25. The movement of water across the surface of the earth
  14. 26. The distance above sea level
  15. 27. moving Earth’s air and water to redistribute heat to and from cool and warm places. This is responsible for movement of air and water around the Earth.
Down
  1. 1. The process of exhaling water vapor by animals and humans
  2. 2. The change from a liquid to a gas
  3. 4. A long period with little or no rainfall
  4. 7. The abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm, measured as the height of the water above the normal predicted astronomical tide. The surge is caused primarily by a storm’s winds pushing water onshore.
  5. 9. The areas where water is collected and kept. examples: oceans, rivers, ice
  6. 11. A huge body of air that has similar temperature, humidity, and air pressure at any given height.
  7. 13. The boundary where the air masses meet becomes
  8. 14. Opposite of a cyclone, is a high pressure center of dry air, shown by an H on a weather map. Winds spiral out from the center.
  9. 16. A series of events that repeat in the same order over and over again.
  10. 17. Severe weather is approaching and people should take shelter.
  11. 18. Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches the Earth’s surface
  12. 21. An extremely fast spinning column of air that extend from the base of a thunderstorm to the Earth's surface
  13. 22. When a cyclones speeds exceed 74 MPH
  14. 24. some warms the air that touches Earth’s surface. Transfer of heat through touching something
