  3. 8. effect due to the Earth’s rotation causing air and currents to change direction.
  4. 9. distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator.
  5. 10. boundary separating air masses for which several characteristics differ, such as air density, wind, temperature, and humidity.

  1. 1. violent Pacific tropical storm.
  2. 2. energy moving in a persistent and predictable direction.
  3. 3. a circular storm that forms over warm oceans with winds that can destroy buildings and rip out trees by their roots.
  4. 4. large body of air with similar temperature and humidity characteristics that covers a wide area.
  5. 5. how much water is in the air.
  6. 6. effect of temperatures fluctuating less where land is adjacent to larger bodies of water.
  7. 7. horizontal movement of air.
  8. 8. to make denser.
  9. 12. cloud on the ground
