Across
- 3. low pressure systems rotate this direction in northern hemisphere
- 8. an air system that pulls warm humid air up from lower altitudes to higher altitudes often brings cooler and/or stormy conditions
- 13. the barometric pressure at sea-level which is 1013.25millibar
- 17. the movement of substances going from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration

- 21. an air-mass that forms over land, typically dry
Down
- 1. the air we breathe is primarily made of this gas
- 2. the ratio of a substance’s mass to its volume.
- 3. the deflection of high pressure air as it meets low pressured air due to the planet’s rotation
- 4. air systems that descend from the upper atmosphere to the ground displacing clouds bringing warm sunny conditions
