  1. 4. The circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature. Warm, less dense matter rises and cools, more dence matter sinks
  2. 5. layer of earths atmosphere taht we live in and where weather occurs. Wind speed increases but temperature and air pressure decreases as you move higher in this layer
  3. 6. Pressure system where dense air sinks, generally causing dry and clear weather
  4. 7. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
  5. 13. the apparent curving of a moving objects path from a straight line due to the earths rotation
  6. 14. mature tropical storm that forms in areas of low pressure over warm tropical oceans where the storm is fueled by evaporation also known as a typhoon in other regions
  7. 17. similar air pressure system distributed across latitude
  8. 19. 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.
  9. 20. digital tool used to track weather systems such as wind directions, speed, and size of storm
  10. 22. a large body of air that has similar temperature and water vapor throughout
  11. 23. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding
  12. 24. forms over land when a cool dry high pressure air mass collides with a warm moist low pressure air mass
Down
  1. 1. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter
  2. 2. ocean currents that brings cold nutrient rich water down from alaska along the west coast
  3. 3. continuous movement of wacondensationhe ocean, atmosphere, and land where surface water evaporates into the atmosphere allowing clouds to form by condenstation, and then fall back to earth as precipitation
  4. 8. ocean current that brings warm water from the equator up along ht east coast and over Europe
  5. 9. boundary where two different air masses meet casuing weather
  6. 10. brings thunderstorms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind
  7. 11. day to day conditions in the atmosphere including humidity cloud over temperature wind and precipitation
  8. 12. the forces excerted on the surface of earth by the air above
  9. 15. Pressure system where less dense air rise,s generally causing wet and overcast weather
  10. 16. created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation causes convection currentsin the air (weterlies, easterlies, trade winds)
  11. 18. bring drizzly rain and leaves clear skies and warmer weather behind
  12. 21. ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wetter winter
