Down
- 1. instrument used for measuring air pressure.
- 5. the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves; mostly visible light, UV, and infared (heat).
- 6. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
- 8. mass, body of air extending over large areas that develops and retains specific characteristics of pressure, temperature, and humidity.
- 10. wind system, winds that blow from the poles and act as a heat transfer system due to the unequal heating of the Earth's surface.
