Across
  1. 1. similar air pressure system distributed across a latitude.
  2. 2. Boundary where two different air masses meets causing weather.
  3. 8. A large body of air that has similar temperature and water vapor throughout.
  4. 10. Ocean water with a warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wetter winter.
  5. 12. dad to day conditions in the atmosphere, including humidity, cloud cover, temperature, wind, and precipitation.
  6. 16. forms over land and when a cool dry high pressure air mass collides with a warm, moist low pressure air mass.
  7. 17. brings drizzly rain and leaves clear skies and warmer weather behind.
  8. 18. the force exerted on the surface of earth by the air above.
  9. 19. mature tropical cyclone that forms in areas of low pressure over warm tropical oceans where the storm is fueled by evaporated also known as a typhoon in other regions.
  10. 20. ocean current that brings cold, nutrient rich water down from Alaska along the west coast.
  11. 21. Digital tool used to track weather systems such a as wind direction, speed, and size of storm.
  12. 22. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus disturbing energy.
Down
  1. 1. created by the uneven heating by solar radiations causing convection currents in the air.
  2. 3. an air pressure system where dense air sinks generally causing dry and clear weather.
  3. 4. ocean currents that brings warm water up from the equator up along the east coast and over to Europe.
  4. 5. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing a drier winter.
  5. 6. an air pressure system where less dense air rises generally causing wet and overcast weather.
  6. 7. continuous movement of water between the ocean, atmosphere, and land where surface water evaporates into the atmosphere allowing clouds to form by condensation, and then fall back to earth as precipitation.
  7. 9. Fast, narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in a west-east direction across the U.S.
  8. 11. layer of Earth's atmosphere that we live in and where weather occurs.
  9. 13. brings thunderstorms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind.
  10. 14. the circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature.
  11. 15. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a Hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding.
  12. 20. the apparent curving of a moving objects path from a straight line due to Earth's rotation.
