predicting Weather

7. A body of air extending over a large area (1,000 miles or more) that develops and retains specific characteristics of pressure, temperature, and humidity
10. Features on the surface of Earth, such as mountains, hills, dunes, oceans, or rivers
11. Winds that act as a heat transfer system due to the unequal heating of Earth’s surface
12. a device that measures wind speed and direction. It is a common instrument used in weather stations.
13. Directional movements of ocean water; surface currents result from steady winds over the ocean surface; deep currents result from density variations due to temperature and salinity differences
14. A prediction or estimate of future events
15. The boundary between an advancing warm air mass and a receding cooler air mass

1. A Scientist who studies the weather
