  1. 2. A large volume of water flowing in a certain direction
  2. 4. Energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles.
  3. 6. A specific set of weather conditions occurring in the lowest levels of the atmosphere, reflecting the configuration of air movement
  4. 9. the movement of a fluid, caused by differences in temperature, that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another
  5. 11. A severe storm that develops over tropical oceans and whose strong winds of more than 120 km/h spiral in toward the intensely low-pressure storm centerfronts Fronts are the boundaries between two air masses with different temperatures and pressures. Fronts bring changes in weather.
  6. 12. the amount of moisture or water vapor in the air
  7. 13. a map showing the state of the weather over a large area
  8. 14. a high-speed high-altitude airstream blowing from west to east near the top of the troposhere ( lower region of the atmosphere )
  9. 15. weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
Down
  1. 1. a wind that consistently blows from one direction more than from another
  2. 3. a change in the weather that repeats
  3. 5. High- a large body of circulating air with high pressure at its center and lower pressure outside of the system low-a large body of circulating air with low pressure at its center and higher pressure outside of the system.
  4. 7. A huge body of air that has similar temperature, humidity, and air pressure at any given height
  5. 8. day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere, including temperature, precipitation, and other factors
  6. 10. the effect of earths rotation
