Across
  1. 6. layer that contains the ozone layer
  2. 7. pressure associated with sunny skies
  3. 9. blocks out harmful UV rays
  4. 11. water vapor in the air
  5. 12. cold and moist air
  6. 13. heat being trapped in our atmosphere due to CO2 and methane
  7. 14. heat rising and cool air sinking
  8. 15. layer of the atmosphere that protects earth by burning meteors
  9. 16. where most tornadoes take place because cP meets mT
  10. 20. layer of the atmosphere with weather
  11. 22. create from an unstable atmosphere and warm moist air rising
  12. 23. water cycle stage that creates clouds
Down
  1. 1. layer of the atmosphere with highest temperatures
  2. 2. type of winds that are created due to Earth heating unevenly because of Earth's tilt
  3. 3. heat transfer involving the direct contact of molecules
  4. 4. cold and dry air
  5. 5. air moving from high to low pressure
  6. 6. during the day cool dense air over the water replaces warm rising air over the land
  7. 8. these lose strength over land or in cool water
  8. 10. sunlight is an example of this type of heat transfer
  9. 12. warm and moist air
  10. 17. at night cool dense air over land replaces warm rising air over the ocean
  11. 18. front that produces many days of wet weather
  12. 19. type of pressure needed for storms
  13. 21. dry and warm air
  14. 23. type of front that makes thunderstorms
