Across
- 5. seasonal movements of large air masses across the Earth

- 9. a force generated from the Earth's rotation that causes the deflection of winds
- 10. the direction the Earth rotates towards
- 13. all forms of water that fall from the atmosphere onto the Earth's surface
- 14. the hemisphere that experiences winter between June and September
- 15. the height of a point above sea level
- 17. the type of rain that is formed due to the uplifting of a heated air mass in the atmosphere
- 20. the weather pattern over a prolonged period of time
- 21. the amount of water vapour in the air

- 25. the hemisphere that experiences summer between June and September
Down
