Weather and Climate Part 1
Across
- 3. having a high mass per unit of volume
- 4. the parts of food used by living things to grow and survive
- 6. well defined and easily recognizable
- 8. when one thing rubs against another
- 9. usual, common, or popular
- 10. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
- 12. to return light, heat, sound, and so on, after it strikes a surface
- 14. steady winds that flow from east to west between 30°N latitude and 30°S latitude
- 16. to change into a different form
- 17. the vertical movement of water toward the ocean’s surface
- 20. cold winds that blow from east to west near the North Pole and the South Pole
- 23. to cause something to turn in a different direction
- 27. the force that a column of air applies on the air or a surface below it
- 28. the amount (measured in joules) of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1°C
- 29. to create
- 30. a space completely empty of matter
- 31. to move within a system
- 32. not completely but mostly
- 33. the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles within matter
Down
- 1. energy due to motion
- 2. steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30°N and 60°N, and 30°S and 60°S
- 5. the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
- 7. the transfer of thermal energy between materials by the collisions of particles
- 11. describes how much solar radiation is reflected off of a surface
- 13. to move in one direction, hit a surface, and then quickly move in a different and usually opposite direction
- 14. to move from one place to another
- 15. a wind-driven current that carries ocean water horizontally across the ocean’s surface
- 18. to be present in more places throughout a large area
- 19. to draw or pull slowly or heavily
- 21. the distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees (°)
- 22. a phenomenon from the rotation of Earth causes moving air and water to appear to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere
- 24. the vertical movement of water caused by differences in density
- 25. to take in or soak up
- 26. a small piece of matter
