Down
  1. 1. energy due to motion
  2. 2. steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30°N and 60°N, and 30°S and 60°S
  3. 5. the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
  4. 7. the transfer of thermal energy between materials by the collisions of particles
  5. 11. describes how much solar radiation is reflected off of a surface
  6. 13. to move in one direction, hit a surface, and then quickly move in a different and usually opposite direction
  7. 14. to move from one place to another
  8. 15. a wind-driven current that carries ocean water horizontally across the ocean’s surface

  10. 19. to draw or pull slowly or heavily
  11. 21. the distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees (°)
  12. 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
  13. 24. the vertical movement of water caused by differences in density
  14. 25. to take in or soak up
  15. 26. a small piece of matter
