Across
- 6. layer of Earth's atmosphere that we live in and where weather occurs. wind speed increases but temperature and air pressure decreases as you move higher in this layer.
- 9. an air pressure system where dense air sinks generally causing dry and clear weather(high and Dry)
- 10. ocean current that brings warm water from the equator up along the east coast and over to Europe.
- 11. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
- 13. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter
- 14. created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation causes convection currents in the air
- 15. fast, narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in a west-east direction across the U.S.
- 16. day to day conditions in the atmosphere, including humidity, could cover, temperature, wind, moist low pressure air mass.
Down
- 1. the circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature warm, less dense, matter rises and cools, more dense matter sinks
- 2. an air pressure system where less dense air rises generally causing wet and overcast weather
- 3. ocean current that brings cold, nutrient rich water down from Alaska along the west coast.
- 4. brings thunder storms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind
- 5. the force exerted on the surface of earth by the air above
- 7. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding
- 8. boundary where two different air masses meet causing weather
- 12. ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wet winter
