Across
- 1. Part of the thermosphere that reflects radio waves.
- 3. A warm air mass
- 6. a storm with thunder and lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail.
- 8. Energy created from the splitting of atoms to produce steam.
- 10. A snowstorm that has 35mph winds, low visibility, and lasts three hours.
- 12. Light that is taken in by an object.
- 15. Energy derived from burning organic materials such as wood and plants
- 16. A resource that cannot be replaced once used.
- 17. Pressure associated with good weather, air sinking, clear skies
- 19. The transfer of heat by the circulation or warm air rising and cold air sinking
- 22. This breeze is created at night, created when cooler, denser air from the land forces up warmer air over the sea
- 24. Energy from steam or hot water produced from hot or molten underground rocks.
- 26. Energy produced by the flow of water through a dam
- 28. The effect of Earth's atmosphere trapping heat near the surface
- 29. Any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface.
- 30. Sometimes referred to as the "Northern Lights", a beautiful display of light in the sky that occurs in the thermosphere.
- 35. Layer of the atmosphere farthest from Earth's surface.
- 38. water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
- 39. This breeze is created during the day when cooler air from above the water moves over the land, forcing the heated, less dense air above the land to rise
- 41. cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North Pole and South Pole
- 42. A large storm that forms over the warm water of the Atlantic ocean.
- 44. Type of front where warm air moves over cold air and brings steady rain
- 46. The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching.
- 47. The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
- 49. Pressure associated with cloudy/rainy weather and air rising.
- 51. The change of state from a gas to a liquid
- 52. Protective layer in atmosphere that shields earth from UV radiation.
Down
- 2. Type of front when a warm air mass and a cold airmass meet head on
- 4. An air mass that forms over land
- 5. Energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles.
- 7. This breeze is created by cold air that flows DOWN the side of a mountain at night.
- 9. A thin layer of gasses surrounding Earth
- 11. seasonal wind patterns that cause wet and dry seasons
- 13. Winds that blow west to east between 30 and 60 degrees in the northern and southern hemispheres
- 14. A narrow belt of strong winds that blow in the upper troposphere
- 18. A frequently windless area near the Equator
- 20. Type of front where a warm air mass is caught between two colder air masses.
- 21. This breeze is created by warm air rising and flowing up the slope of a mountain.
- 23. The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere
- 25. A resource that can be replaced in a short amount of time.
- 27. A front that forms when cold air moves under warm air which is less dense and pushes air up (produces thunderstorms heavy rain or snow
- 31. Winds that blow from east to west from 30 degrees latitude to the equator in both hemispheres
- 32. Acold air mass
- 33. Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
- 34. A rapidly whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down to touch Earth's surface.
- 36. Air Mass A bitterly cold and dry air mass
- 37. An air mass that forms over water
- 40. The effect of Earth's rotation (spin) on the direction of winds and currents.
- 43. Second layer of the atmosphere; location of ozone layer; temperature increases with altitude increase.
- 45. Electricity generated from the movement of the tides
- 48. Light that is bounced back from an object.
- 50. The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure
