Across
- 1. a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.
- 2. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder.
- 3. a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance.
- 7. a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow
- 8. the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

- 14. a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.
Down
- 1. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
- 4. a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure.
- 5. a narrow variable band of very strong predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres.
- 6. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
- 10. he state or quality of being humid.
