Across
  1. 2. between the thermosphere and the stratosphere.
  2. 5. Pole:the southernmost point on Earth
  3. 6. Hemisphere: the half of Earth that is north of the Equator.
  4. 7. : model of the mid-latitude segment of Earth's wind circulation
  5. 9. Polethe northernmost point on the earth's axis, at a latitude of 90°N
  6. 11. Contract : the purchase of Goods or Services that are an addition to an existing Contract with the same Supplier
  7. 12. Cells: extend from between 60 and 70 degrees north and south, to the poles.
  8. 14. Effect:the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere
  9. 15. : a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness
  10. 17. the lowest layer of the atmosphere of Earth. It contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere and 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, and is where most weather phenomena occur.
  11. 18. envelope of gasses surrounding the earth or another planet.
  12. 21. Current :a current in a fluid that results from convection.
  13. 22. the first layer to shield the Earth from meteors, asteroids, and cosmic rays.
  14. 23. Tilt:The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
  15. 25. WesterliesThe westerlies, anti-trades, or prevailing westerlies, are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude.
  16. 26. Latitudessubtropical regions known for calm winds and little precipitation
  17. 27. : the degree of compactness of a substance.
Down
  1. 1. the layer of Earth's atmosphere immediately above the troposphere
  2. 3. Hemisphere: the half of Earth that is south of the Equator.
  3. 4. Jetstreams:belt of strong upper-level winds lying above regions of subtropical high pressure.
  4. 8. : in the same direction as the way in which the hands of a clock move around.
  5. 10. Winds:winds that reliably blow east to west just north and south of the equato
  6. 11. : an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles
  7. 12. Jetstreams:between the 50°-60° latitude lines in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
  8. 13. Pressure: the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth
  9. 14. :in a direction opposite to that in which the hands of a clock rotate as viewed from in front.
  10. 15. the atmospheric region from ∼85 to ∼500 km altitude, containing the ionosphere
  11. 16. Easterlies:dry, cold prevailing winds that blow around the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and South Poles.
  12. 19. Cells :low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude
  13. 20. Easterlies:dry, cold prevailing winds that blow around the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and South Poles
  14. 24. : a state or period of inactivity, stagnation, or depression.
