Across
- 1. long term weather pattern in an area
- 2. huge body of air that has similar temperature, humidity and air pressure at any given height
- 7. any form of water that falls from clouds and reaches Earth's surface
- 9. the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure
- 11. winds that usually blow in one direction over large distances on earth
- 12. a swirling center of low air pressure
- 13. elevation above sea level
- 14. a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
- 15. band of high speed winds about 10 km about Earth's surface
- 17. a gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature
- 19. state when no particles are moving and the temperature is at it's lowest possible
Down
- 1. the effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents
- 3. the boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not mix
- 4. occurs through movement of fluid which can be solid, liquid or gas
- 5. the flow of air from land to a body of water
- 6. temperature at which condensation begins
- 8. total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object
- 10. transfer of energy from one particle to another or between two objects
- 16. is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
- 18. the pressure caused by the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area
