  2. 7. The altitude of a place above sea level or ground level.
  3. 8. easterlies- A dry cold prevailing wind to blow around high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles.
  4. 9. winds- A wind that blows predominately from a single direction. The trade winds of the tropics, which blow from the east throughout the year.
  5. 11. The composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness and winds throughout the year, averaged over a series of years.
  6. 12. surface.
  7. 13. The state of the atmosphere with respect to wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, and pressure.
Down
  1. 1. stream Strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the earth.
  2. 2. This makes things like planes or currents of air traveling long distances around the earth appear to move at a curve as opposed to a straight line.
  3. 4. A belt of calm and light baffling wind north of the equator between the northern and southern Tradewinds in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
  4. 5. winds- Aany of the nearly constant easterly winds that dominate most of the topics and subtopics throughout the world, blowing mainly from the north east in the northern hemisphere, and from the south east in the southern hemisphere.
  5. 6. current- Transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of
  6. 10. fluid such as water, air or molten rock.
  7. 13. A belt of prevailing wind that moves westerly in the middle latitudes of the northern and southern hemisphere.
