Across
- 4. Winds that flow basically from west to east around the world in the latitudinal zones between about 30° N and 60° N and between about 30° S and 60° S.
- 7. Low Very warm surface conditions are often associated with relatively low pressure at the surface.
- 8. The most common unit of measure for atmospheric pressure.
- 10. High Strongly descending air is usually associated with high pressure at the surface.
- 11. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- 12. High Each ocean basin has a large semipermanent high-pressure cell centered at about 30° of latitude.
- 14. Low Strongly rising air is usually associated with low pressure at the surface.
- 15. Mass of matter in a unit volume.
Down
- 1. Gradient The horizontal rate of pressure change.
- 2. Wind When wind moves parallel to the isobars.
- 3. High Very cold surface conditions are often associated with high pressure at the surface.
- 5. Convergence Zone The zone where the air from the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere meet.
- 6. Cells The low-latitude cells—one north and one south of the equator—are gigantic convection systems.
- 9. The horizontal movement of air.
- 13. Winds Winds that are extremely consistent in both direction and speed.
