Across
- 5. The temperature of air that has lower pressure, because the molecules of air spread out.
- 8. The average conditions for a particular place over a long period of time
- 9. Typically, this is a sign that bad weather, such as cold fronts or rain are coming
- 12. The day to day conditions of the Earth's atmosphere at a particular place and time
- 14. This is usually a sign of fair, clear and sunny weather.
- 15. Water droplets form on dust and smoke particles to form clouds. You saw how this works in the water cycle lab.
Down
- 1. The temperature of air that has higher pressure, because the molecules of air clump together.
- 2. Water returns to the atmosphere through the process in which liquids change to a gas.
- 3. The device used to calculate air pressure
- 4. The way that water enters the soil like going through a coffee maker
- 6. At sea level this is pushing in on every inch of our body with 15 pounds of force
- 7. Deep underground lakes such as we find in the American Midwest
- 10. Plants "breathe" out water through this process
- 11. Rain, snow, hail and sleet are the different types
- 13. If this water lands on a surface that cannot absorb it, such as street or concrete surface, then it will flow off into a stream
