Across
- 6. pressure exerted by the weight above
- 7. winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemispere do to the rotation of the earth
- 8. pressure changes between isobars is known as _______________
- 11. seasonal changes in wind direction, mostly near the Indian Ocean
- 14. middle latitude global winds in which we live in
- 15. when winds blow out from the land because the water is warmer, usually happens at night
- 16. wind blow as cooler air sinks over water and moves towards land
- 17. centers of high pressure
Down
- 1. consistently blowing wind from one directions
- 2. device used to measure air pressure
- 3. global winds that blow from polar highs to subpolar lows and come from the east
- 4. interaction of warm and cool air masses in the middle latitudes lead to these
- 5. fast moving rivers of air near the top of the troposphere
- 9. instrument used to measure wind speed
- 10. centers of low pressure
- 12. two belts of winds that blow easterly and are located just above and below the equator
- 13. lines on a map that connect equal lines of pressure
