  3. 4. Clouds that form at or near the ground
  4. 6. breeze A breeze coming from the land towards the sea
  5. 8. The process of changing a liquid to a gase; water enter the atmosphere
  6. 11. Frozen particals of water vapor that falls to eath in the form of white, crystalline flacks
  7. 12. The amount of water vapor in the air
  8. 13. Water falling to earth when condensation occurs when water molecules reach about 0.2mm in size

  7. 10. winds Convection regions in Earth's atmosphere and the spinning of Earth on its axis cause winds to blow in prevailing directions around Earth
  8. 14. A storm with thunder, lightning, heavy rains, and strong winds
  9. 16. front A formation that occurs when a mass of cold air meets and pushes under a mas of warm air creating violent storms followed by cool weather

  11. 19. The temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses
  12. 20. stream A narrow belt of strong, high-speed, high-pressure air flowing from west to east around Earth
  13. 21. Lines on a weather map that connect areas of equal temperature readings
  14. 23. fron A formation that occurs when a mass of warm air overtakes a cold air mass and moves over it forming rain and showers
