Across
- 3. brings thunderstorms and leaves overcast and colder weather behind
- 4. digital tool used to track weather systems such as wind directions, speed, and size of storm
- 8. fast narrow air current that blows from west to east in the upper atmosphere causing weather to generally move in a west east direction across the U.S.
- 12. The circular motion of liquids or gasses caused by density differences that result from temperature. Warm, less dense matter rises and cools, more dence matter sinks
- 13. Pressure system where dense air sinks, generally causing dry and clear weather
- 14. ocean water with cooler surface temperature shifts east causing drier winter
- 16. layer of earths atmosphere taht we live in and where weather occurs. Wind speed increases but temperature and air pressure decreases as you move higher in this layer
- 18. ocean currents that brings cold nutrient rich water down from alaska along the west coast
- 20. similar air pressure system distributed across latitude
- 22. ocean water with warm surface temperature shifts east causing a wetter winter
- 23. abnormal rise in sea levels caused by a hurricane and can lead to dangerous flooding
- 24. boundary where two different air masses meet casuing weather
Down
- 1. created by the uneven heating by the solar radiation causes convection currentsin the air (weterlies, easterlies, trade winds)
- 2. Pressure system where less dense air rise,s generally causing wet and overcast weather
- 5. bring drizzly rain and leaves clear skies and warmer weather behind
- 6. day to day conditions in the atmosphere including humidity cloud over temperature wind and precipitation
- 7. mature tropical storm that forms in areas of low pressure over warm tropical oceans where the storm is fueled by evaporation also known as a typhoon in other regions
- 9. continuous movement of wacondensationhe ocean, atmosphere, and land where surface water evaporates into the atmosphere allowing clouds to form by condenstation, and then fall back to earth as precipitation
- 10. forms over land when a cool dry high pressure air mass collides with a warm moist low pressure air mass
- 11. ocean current that brings warm water from the equator up along ht east coast and over Europe
- 15. the apparent curving of a moving objects path from a straight line due to the earths rotation
- 17. produced by wind, temperature and density differences caused from uneven heating by solar radiation thus distributing energy.
- 19. the forces excerted on the surface of earth by the air above
- 21. a large body of air that has similar temperature and water vapor throughout
