Across
  1. 3. the process in which a liquid turns into a gas
  2. 7. in order for a strong thunder storm to occur, a _____ temperature difference between the air near the ground and the air higher up is needed
  3. 8. this type of precipitation forms when the air near the ground is at or below freezing
  4. 10. this is what happens to a water droplet or ice crystal when the force of updraft is greater than the force of gravity
  5. 13. thermal energy transfer that occurs as particles collide, such as when the ground heats the air above it
  6. 15. thermal energy transfer that occurs when the Sun heats the ground without direct contact
  7. 16. this is what happens to a water droplet or ice crystal when the forces of gravity and updraft are equal
  8. 18. the downward force that acts on objects
Down
  1. 1. the measurement that tells us the force of gravity on an object
  2. 2. any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the ground
  3. 4. bigger hailstones occur when the hailstone spends a _______ time in a cloud
  4. 5. thermal energy transfer that is responsible for warm air rising and cold air sinking
  5. 6. the amount of water vapor in the air
  6. 9. this is what happens to a water droplet or ice crystal when the force of gravity is greater than the force of updraft
  7. 11. cold air sinks because it is ______ dense than the surrounding air
  8. 12. the upward movement of air
  9. 13. solids such as dust, ash, smoke, etc. in the air that water vapor condenses to as part of cloud formation
  10. 14. the process in which a gas turns into a liquid
  11. 17. warm air rises because it is ______ dense than the surrounding air
