Across
- 6. narrow belts of strong winds that blow near the top of the troposphere.
- 8. winds that blow down the mountain (cool, high pressure)towards the valley floor (warm, low pressure)
- 10. the rotation of Earth causes moving air and water to appear to turn to the right north of the equator and to the left south of the equator
- 12. when hot fluids rise and cold fluids sink
- 14. wind system caused by descending cooler more dense air near 30 degrees north and south latitude
- 15. cooler, denser air above the land moves over the water, as the warm air over the water rises
Down
- 1. wind system between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude coming from the west
- 2. a breeze that blows from the valley floor(high pressure) up towards the top of the mountain (low pressure)
- 3. cold, dense air sinks and moves away from the poles
- 4. heat is transferred to the air from the surface of Earth by __________________
- 5. the movement of air from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
- 7. area along the equator where the heating of the atmosphere causes air to expand and creates as area of little or no wind
- 9. cooler, denser air over the water has higher pressure and flows toward the warmer, less dense air over the land
- 11. warm less dense air is pushed up and rises in a ______ pressure system
- 13. cool dense air sinks to Earth and causes a ______ pressure system
