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