  1. 2. scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure. Air pressure change can be used to forecast changes in the weather.
  2. 4. windless waters near the equator
  3. 11. continuous change.
  4. 13. all the landscapes and major systems that interact to create our dynamic planet.
  5. 14. air movement where warmer parts move up and the cooler parts move down.
  6. 17. protective boundary between outer space and the biosphere that allows for life to exist on Earth.
  7. 18. great circle of the earth that is equally distant from the poles and divides the earth into two hemispheres.
  8. 19. gasses held around planet earth by gravity, filtering what is allowed in and out.
  9. 20. light energy radiated in the form of waves or particles.
  10. 21. height of a point on the earth’s surface.
  11. 23. horizontal movement of air.
Down
  1. 1. heat transfer through actual physical contact.
  2. 3. incoming solar radiation
  3. 5. low pressure
  4. 6. lets insolation in, but does not allow warm air trapped inside to escaple.
  5. 7. science that studies the changes in weather.
  6. 8. the thin layer of the earth where life can exist.
  7. 9. the state of the atmosphere as regards to heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain or snow.
  8. 10. high pressure
  9. 12. due to the Earth’s rotation, a target moves away from the original point of aim when the bullet finally arrives at distances of 1000 meters.
  10. 15. distance north or south from the earth's equator.
  11. 16. atmospheric pressure
  12. 22. a mixture of nitrogen oxygen and other gasses.
