Across
- 3. latitude that receives the most intense sunlight, which causes the ascending branches of the two Hadley calls to converse
- 7. is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface
- 11. most "ignored" layer
- 12. circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
- 14. percentage of incoming sunlight reflected from a surface
- 15. where surface water is forced downwards, where it may deliver oxygen to deeper water
Down
- 1. process of reducing heat through a change in air pressure
- 2. average temperature of the region
- 4. Area of significantly reduced rainfall behind the mountainous region
- 5. convection current in the atmosphere is formed by air that rises at 60 degrees North and 60 degrees South and sinks at the poles, 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south
- 6. convection current in the atmosphere that lies between Hadley cells and polar cells
- 8. whirl or gyrate.
- 9. is the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
- 10. contains the ozone layer
- 13. Heat is released due to moisture that leaves the air
