Weather
Across
- 1. a weather condition in which very small drops of water come together to form a thick cloud close to the land or sea
- 6. a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
- 7. a storm with thunder and lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail.
- 9. a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice that forms inside thunderstorm updrafts
- 12. the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.
- 13. a process that changes a substance from a liquid into a gas or vapor
- 14. a long severe snowstorm
- 16. heap, accumulation
- 17. the only cloud type that can produce hail, thunder and lightning
- 19. any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth
- 22. an instrument that measures wind speed and wind pressure.
- 23. a revolving pointer to show the direction of the wind
- 24. small white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapor of the air
- 30. an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature
- 32. a process that changes a substance from a liquid into a gas or vapor.
- 33. water falling in drops condensed from vapor in the atmosphere
- 34. A dark, gray, mid-altitude cloud that often covers the entire sky and precipitates rain, snow, or sleet.
- 35. an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas
Down
- 1. freezing air is so thin that the raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground.
- 2. rain that freezes or partly freezes as it falls from the sky
- 3. water shortage
- 4. forms when a cold, dense air mass pushes under a warm, lighter air mass, forcing the warm air to rise
- 5. a scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure
- 8. a measure of the water vapor content of air
- 10. the boundary of an advancing mass of warm ai
- 11. a thin white cloud usually of tiny ice crystals
- 15. a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground.
- 18. air, the stuff we breathe, the thing that makes our lives possible
- 20. a device for collecting and measuring the amount of rain which falls.
- 21. a gas that makes up much of the air in Earth's atmosphere
- 25. a natural movement of air of any velocity
- 26. cloud forming a continuous horizontal gray sheet, often with rain or snow.
- 27. an imaginary line or a line on a map or chart connecting or marking places of equal barometric pressure
- 28. a weather front or transition zone between two air masses
- 29. An overflow of water onto normally dry land
- 31. A violently rotating column of air touching the ground, usually attached to the base of a thunderstorm
