  1. 3. the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature; the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure.
  2. 11. matter or the quantity of matter evaporated or passed off in vapor.
  3. 13. a front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all.
  4. 14. The way EarthÅ› rotation makes winds cure is called the_________________.
  5. 15. a body of air covering a relatively wide area, exhibiting approximately uniform properties through any horizontal section.
  6. 16. a transition zone between a mass of warm air and the colder air it is replacing.
  7. 17. the height of anything above a given planetary reference plane, especially above sea level on earth.
  8. 18. something that drains or flows off, as rain that flows off from the land in streams.

  1. 1. region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment
  2. 2. falling products of condensation in the atmosphere, as rain, snow, or hail.
  3. 4. the atmospheric conditions and weather of an area.PrevilingWinds a wind from the direction that is predominant at a particular place or season.JetStream strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the earth.
  4. 5. condition; moistness; dampness.
  5. 6. the result of being made more compact or dense
  6. 7. region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is less than its surrounding environment
  7. 8. the temperature to which air must be cooled, at a given pressure and water-vapor content, for it to reach saturation; the temperature at which dew begins to form.
  8. 9. the circulation of the earth's water that evaporates from the sea into the atmosphere returning to the sea by rivers or returning to the atmosphere by
  9. 10. air in natural motion, as that moving horizontally at any velocity along the earth's surface:
