Across
- 4. energy, the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature
- 6. front, warm air is present behind it (to its south) with cool air ahead of it (to its north)
- 7. current, the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density
- 8. effect, an apparent force caused by the earth's rotation
- 9. pressure, the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth
- 10. map, a map showing the state of the weather over a large area.
- 12. front, a composite front produced by occlusion.
- 16. a way in which heat travels
- 18. stream, a warm and swift Atlantic Ocean current
- 19. temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the earth
- 20. water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
- 21. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
Down
- 1. pressure, light winds and settled weather conditions
- 2. front, forms when a relatively moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass.
- 3. the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
- 5. energy, the physical energy resulting from electromagnetic radiation, usually observed as it radiates from a source into the surrounding environment.
- 6. energy, radiant energy emitted by the sun.
- 11. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
- 13. pressure, clouds and often precipitation.
- 14. stream, a fast, narrow current of air flowing from west to east that encircles the globe
- 15. mass, a large body of air with generally uniform temperature and humidity.
- 17. a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
- 20. front, the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
