Across
- 2. a wind-driven current that carries ocean water horizontally across the ocean's surface.
- 5. the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves.
- 7. steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30°N and 60°N, and 30°S and 60°S.
- 8. the circulation of particles within a material caused by differences in thermal energy and density.
- 11. the measure of the reflectivity of a surface.
- 12. the atmospheric conditions, along with short-term changes, of a certain place at a certain time.
- 13. the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
- 14. a large area of air that has uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure.
- 15. the vertical movement of water caused by differences in density.
- 17. cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North Pole and South Pole.
- 18. the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter.
Down
- 1. a boundary between two air masses.
- 3. an area of low rainfall on the downwind slope of a mountain.
- 4. the long-term average weather conditions that occur in a particular region.
- 6. the vertical movement of water toward the ocean’s surface.
- 9. steady winds that flow from east to west between 30°N latitude and 30°S latitude.
- 10. the distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
- 16. the movement of wind and water to the right or left that is caused by Earth’s rotation.
