Across
- 1. energy created during evaporation and condensation
- 5. when the amount of water vapor in the air is equal to the amount on the surface
- 8. when a cold front takes over a warm front; produces complex weather
- 9. water that falls from clouds
- 10. fast-movingng rivers of air near the top of the troposphere
- 12. forms when air masses collide replacing warm air with cold air; heavy rain and gusty winds
- 13. changing water vapor into liquid water
- 15. whirling tropical cyclone with winds at least 119Kph
- 18. complex weather pattern resulting from variation in the ocean temperature around the pacific equator caused by cooling waters; causes cooler, wetter weather
- 20. the amount of water vapor within the air
- 23. violent wind storm with a rotating cloud that touches the ground
- 24. changing ice into water vapor
- 26. cold regions
- 29. a body of air with uniform temperature, humidity and pressure
- 30. the temperature to which a parcel of air needs to be cooled to reach saturation
Down
- 2. storm that generates thunder, lightning, and rain
- 3. over water
- 4. collision of air masses
- 6. hot regions
- 7. changing liquid water into water vapor
- 11. an increase of water being pushed onto land from hurricanes
- 14. changing water vapor into ice
- 16. forms when 2 air masses collide but neither moves; gentle to moderate precipitation
- 17. 2 belts of wind that blow constantly from the East
- 19. air that travels toward the poles and deflected west; found in the middle attitudes
- 21. over land
- 22. complex weather pattern resulting from variation in the ocean temperature around the pacific equator caused by warming waters; causes dryer, warmer weather
- 25. winds that blow from the poles East
- 27. change in movement due to earth's rotation; deflects air and water to the right or left depending on hemisphere
- 28. forms when air masses collide replacing cold air with warm air; moderate precipitation for extended time
