Weather and natural disasters
Across
- 3. Horizontal, band-like cloud formations.
- 5. Begins as an invisible channel of electrically charged air moving from the cloud toward the ground.
- 8. Transparent, whitish veil-like clouds with a hair-like or smooth appearance.
- 9. A spiral column of thunderstorms that causes mass destruction.
- 10. When the sky is filled with clouds.
- 15. Atmospheric moisture with a warm temperature.
- 20. Hard balls of ice falling from clouds.
- 21. When the sun is out and the sky is clear.
- 22. When rocks and land slide down a steep surface.
- 25. A spiral arrangement of thunderstorms.
- 26. Water falling from clouds.
- 27. Formed when the light is refracted after coming across two rain showers which have distinct sizes of raindrops.
- 32. A negative stepped leader that travels downward through the cloud, followed by an upward traveling return stroke.PositiveCloud-to-GroundLightning
- 36. Gray or bluish cloud sheets or layers of striated or fibrous clouds that totally or partially cover the sky.
- 37. When or tides cause water to rise in an area it's not meant to.
- 39. Overwhelming cold weather that occurs suddenly.
- 40. A large-scale magnetic eruption causing a solar flare.
- 43. A circle of light rainbow in the sky.
- 47. There is a net transfer of positive charge from the cloud to the ground.
- 48. Form in the same way as rainbows, but are formed by much smaller cloud and fog droplets that diffract light extensively.
- 49. The thunderstorm cloud, this is a heavy and dense cloud in the form of a mountain or huge tower.
- 50. Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments, mostly in patches or narrow bands.
- 53. A halo that looks like a second sun.
- 54. Bolts from the sky that cause fires.
- 56. Thin and white, these clouds look like a patchy sheet or layer arranged somewhat-regularly into grains or ripples without shading.
- 57. Snow blown around by wind in the freezing cold.
- 58. White frozen rain falling from clouds.
- 59. Clouds looking like bubbles.
Down
- 1. A deficiency in rain over a large period, causing dryness in the land.
- 2. Underwater ice stalactites.
- 4. Sand blown around by the wind.
- 6. When a mountainous peak erupts in lava and fire.
- 7. A build-up of electrical charge in clouds.
- 10. A never ending lightning storm.
- 11. Light rain.
- 12. Resulting from thickening altostratus, this is a dark gray cloud layer diffused by falling rain or snow.
- 13. Formed by the double reflection of sunlight inside raindrops and are between 130 degrees and 127 degrees in width.
- 14. When the sun is high allowing its light to pass through high-altitude cirrus clouds.
- 16. A violently rotating column of air.
- 17. An extremely cold climate with snow blowing rapidly around.
- 18. Rumbling coming from the sky.
- 19. When light hits rain causing an optical illusion of colors in the sky.
- 23. Atmospheric nighttime events characterized by gusty winds, a rapid increase in surface temperature, and a decrease in surface dewpoint associated with a dissipating thunderstorm.
- 24. When snow and ice fall down a steep slope, causing mass distruction.
- 28. A tornado that forms over water.
- 29. Moist air causing restrictions on sight.
- 30. The discharge between areas of cloud without the discharge channel reaching the ground.
- 31. A mass fire in the wild that spreads swiftly.
- 33. When it gets unbearably hot for a bit.
- 34. Ice formations on the ground.
- 35. Dirt mixed with wind that blows it around.
- 38. Lightning looking like a ball that can move.
- 41. A type of rainbow whose color spectrum is based on a single color, usually red.
- 42. Precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground.
- 44. Gray or whitish patchy, sheet, or layered clouds that almost always have dark tessellations, rounded masses, or rolls.
- 45. Sudden movement along faults within the Earth that make the ground rumble.
- 46. White and/or gray patchy, sheet, or layered clouds generally composed of laminae, rounded masses, or rolls.
- 51. A rainbow is caused by the Sun shining on moisture droplets.
- 52. A chilly temperature that makes you wear a coat.
- 55. A giant wave that causes flooding.
