Across
  1. 3. a large body of air that has the same amount of mosture(humidty) and pressure througout
  2. 4. thick, flat, gray clounds low in the sky formed at medium and low elevations
  3. 5. clouds that form at or near the ground
  4. 7. the condition of the atmosphere associated with fair weather where the cool and dry air is descending the air particles are close together
  5. 10. larger and thicker cumulus clouds that are darker on the bottom that can produce thunderstorms, lightning, and hail
  6. 12. a storm with thunder,lightning,heavy rains, and stronng winds; usually form along a cold front
  7. 14. the formation of a visible mass in air where water condenses on tiny particles such as airborne dust,salt and ash
  8. 15. a breeze that comes from thesea toward the land
  9. 18. a rapidly whiring, funneling-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud
  10. 19. rain drops that fall through layers of air that are below 30
  11. 20. rain falls and lands on colder surfaces and freezes
  12. 21. feather, wispy clouds high in the sky made of ice crystals often indicating fair weather following imminent rain or snow
  13. 23. a formation that occurs when a mass of cold air meets and pushed under a mass of warm air creating violent storms followed by coold weather
  14. 24. the amount of water vapor in the air
Down
  1. 1. a formation that occurs when a mass of warm air overtakes a cold air mass and moves over it forming rain and showers- hot humid weather
  2. 2. the meeting of two air masses having different properties and that do not mix readily
  3. 4. circulations of warm and cold ocean waters in convection patterns
  4. 6. a front that occurs when a cold front travels faster than a warm front and overs the warm front.
  5. 8. a breeze coming from the land toward the sea
  6. 9. thick, fluffy clouds formed at medium or low elevation; usually an indication of fair weather
  7. 11. a fron that occurs when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass and no movement occurs(can result in rainfall for days).
  8. 13. means rain; can be included with the basic cloud shape name as a prefix or suffix
  9. 16. a powerful cyclone (low pressure area that contains rising warm air) that forms over a tropical ocean
  10. 17. energy that come to the earth from the sun
  11. 22. the condition of the atmosphere associated with heavy clouds and precipitation where warmer air particles are rising and moving farther apart allowing the air to hold more moisture
