Across
- 2. clouds, flat, low clouds that stretch across the sky ; usually grey; these clouds usually forecast precipitation
- 4. clouds, clouds that form high in the sky; they are thin & wispy; these clouds usually forecast fair to pleasant weather
- 7. gauge, a tool that measures precipitation
- 9. meteorologist, a person who studies weather
- 10. Substance going from a solid to a liquid
- 13. a tool that measures wind speed
- 14. the changing of a gas to a liquid
- 16. the amount of water vapor in the air
- 17. an area where warm air rises and pushes down on the earth's surface with less pressure
- 18. a prediction of what the weather will be like
- 21. the changing of a liquid to a gas
- 25. clouds that form at ground level
- 26. a measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere
- 28. tool that measures humidity
- 29. partially melted snow (or a mixture of rain and snow)
- 30. forms over an ocean & has heavy winds and rain. The center of this is called an "eye."
Down
- 1. moisture that falls to the ground from clouds; Examples: rain, sleet, snow, hail
- 3. water from precipitation that flows over the ground into streams, lakes, and oceans
- 5. a tool that measures air pressure
- 6. scientific reasoning based on an observation
- 8. a manmade instrument that orbits the earth to gather weather data
- 11. precipitation falling from clouds in the form of ice crystals
- 12. vane, a tool that shows wind direction
- 15. Substance going from a liquid to a solid
- 19. a tool used to measure air temperature
- 20. pressure, the weight of the air
- 22. average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
- 23. formed when warm air rises & cold air fall, which creates turning wind (AKA funnel cloud or twister)
- 24. pressure, an area where cold air sinks and pushes down on the earth's surface with more pressure
- 27. clouds, puffy, fluffy clouds that are heaped together; these clouds usually forecast a change in the weather
