Weather
Across
- 3. Wind blows from the land out to the water, occurs at night
- 5. Energy that travels across distances in the form of certain types of waves
- 6. The process by which a gas changes to a liquid
- 10. Found between the Trade Winds and the Prevailing Westerlies, area of poor winds
- 12. Winds found between 30 and 60 degrees latitude
- 14. An istrument that measures air pressure in the atmosphere
- 15. A process by which a substance changes from its liquid state to its gas state by random particle movement
- 16. "Straited layer," 10 - 50 kilometers from Earth, contains ozone layer, gets hotter as you go up
- 18. The force of air molecules pushing on an area
- 21. "Charged particles," disrupt AM radio signals, especially at night
- 22. The temperature at which air with a given amount of water vapor will reach saturation
Down
- 1. The horizontal movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
- 2. Found at both poles, from 65 latitude and above
- 4. Any type of liquid or solid water that falls to Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, or hail
- 7. Imaginary line around center of Earth (0 degrees latitude), divides Earth into 2 halves
- 8. Wind blows from the water toward the land, occurs during the day
- 9. The amount of water vapor in the air
- 11. A wind that flows in the upper troposphere from west to east over vast distances at great speeds
- 13. A condition of the atmosphere in which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal
- 17. "Heat layer," extends from 90 - 400 kilometers, extreme hot temperatures
- 19. The transfer of energy from place to place by the motion of gas or liquid
- 20. Windless zone found at the equator
