Wind in the Atmosphere
Across
- 2. Mill: turns the wind's energy into rotational energy
- 3. Breeze: breeze blowing from a valley to a mountain
- 6. Westerlies: between the 30 and 60 degrees
- 9. area of low pressure around the equator
- 11. Winds: blows 30 degrees to the equator
- 14. a tool to measure air pressure
- 15. Stream: a high altitude wind that moves from west to east
- 16. Winds: winds that blow long distances in more than one direction
- 18. Latitudes: weak winds, sinking air creates areas of high pressure, and 30 degrees
- 19. the movement of air from one place to another
Down
- 1. Breeze: breeze blowing from a mountain to a valley
- 4. Pressure: the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area
- 5. Breeze: warm air from water, rises, cools, and then moves from the land to the water
- 7. a tool to measure wind
- 8. Farms: farms that use the power of wind to make electricity
- 10. Winds: winds that blow short distances in one direction
- 11. never changes without weather
- 12. Effect: wind curves because of the Earth's rotation
- 13. Easterlies: forms from cold, sinking air and moving from the poles toward 60 degrees
- 17. Breeze: warm air from land rises, cools, and then moves from the water to land
