  1. 3. Latitudes, The horse latitudes are located at about 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
  2. 6. Cells, Ferrel cell, model of the mid-latitude segment of Earth's wind circulation, proposed by William Ferrel (1856).
  3. 10. Pole, The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface.
  4. 11. Effect, An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation.
  5. 13. Current, a current in a fluid that results from convection.
  6. 16. Pole, The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole, Terrestrial South Pole or 90th Parallel South, is one of the two points where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface.
  7. 17. the layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles above the earth's surface.
  8. 18. the envelope of gasses surrounding the earth or another planet.
  9. 19. the region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium.
  10. 20. Air Pressure, is a unit of measurement equal to the average air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
  11. 22. Winds, The trade winds or easterlies are the permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in the Earth's equatorial region.
  12. 23. Clockwise optimizes teams' calendars to create more time in everyone's day. It's a new way of working that gives us flexibility and focus. Get started free.
  13. 24. Cells, Hadley Cells are the low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude.
Down
  1. 1. the region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between about 30 and 50 miles in altitude.
  2. 2. Astate or period of inactivity, stagnation, or depression.
  3. 4. the degree of compactness of a substance.
  4. 5. become or make larger or more extensive.
  5. 7. the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth's surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles.
  6. 8. In the opposite direction to the way in which the hands of a clock move around.
  7. 9. Cells, The smallest and weakest cells are the Polar cells, which extend from between 60 and 70 degrees north and south, to the poles.
  8. 12. decrease in size number or range.
  9. 14. the outermost region of a planet's atmosphere.
  10. 15. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
  11. 21. An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
