Across
  1. 2. atmospheric conditions meteorologists' measure to predict the weather including: temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, clouds
  2. 6. the energy of motion. For example, wind is moving air i.e., air with kinetic energy
  3. 7. includes the ground, water bodies, and objects found on the surface of earth
  4. 9. phrase used to describe what weather conditions are producing. Example: hurricane, rainfall
  5. 12. amount of water vapor (water in its gas form)that is in the air
  6. 15. large body of air that has the same thermal (temperature)and moisture properties
  7. 16. movement of air caused by the sun heating the Earth unevenly.
  8. 17. felt as heat, it's the total energy of moving particles in an object,
  9. 18. conditions that describe the atmosphere. Includes things like temp, humidity, etc
  10. 19. evaporated water in the atmosphere that falls as rain or snow
Down
  1. 1. atmospheric conditions at a specific time and place, such as temperature, wind,etc
  2. 3. a measure of how hot or cold something is. When increased, particles move faster; when decreased, particles move slower
  3. 4. the invisible mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. It's what we breathe and what we feel when the wind blows.
  4. 5. a prediction of what the weather will be like in the future
  5. 8. the movement (or transfer) of thermal energy (or heat) from a warmer object to a cooler one until both objects reach the same temperature.
  6. 10. visible masses of water droplets in the atmosphere
  7. 11. the transfer of heat from one object to another when they are touching
  8. 13. scientists that use special tools like satellites and radar to collect data about weather conditions and predict weather events
  9. 14. when two or more things effect each other. Ex: warm and cool air colliding cause wind
