Across
- 3. Latitudes, About 30 degrees latitude, air stops moving and sinks. This forms calm areas. Little to no winds
- 6. Mass, A large body of air with similar temperatures, humidity, and air pressure
- 7. Front, The forward edge of an advancing mass of cold air that pushes under a mass of warm air. Often causes thunderstorms
- 9. Breeze, A breeze that moves from the land to the sea
- 12. Easterlies, Blow between the poles and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Blows east to west
- 13. Weather instrument used for measuring air and sea breeze temperature
- 17. An expert in weather forecasting
- 19. Front, When two cold fronts converge on a warm front. Shown on a weather map purple half circles and triangles
- 20. Pressure, This pressure system means that there will be stormy weather as it passes by. Air spirals upwards anticlockwise at low levels
- 21. Breeze, A breeze that moves from the sea to the land
Down
- 1. Boundaries, Where air masses will meet but do not mix
- 2. Westerlies, Winds that blow between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They flow from east to west
- 4. First letter is a lowercase "c" and means an air mass is coming from over the land
- 5. Front, When a cold and warm air mass meet but neither has the force to push the other one. Light rain occurs
- 8. Little wind blows here because warm, less dense air results in low pressure areas. Forms near the equator where the Sun warms the planet the most
- 10. Front, The forward edge of an advancing mass of warm air that rises over and replaces a retreating mass of colder air
- 11. First letter is a lowercase "m" and means an air mass is coming from over the ocean
- 14. Weather instrument used for measuring atmospheric pressure
- 15. Effect, The influence of Earth's rotation on objects that move over Earth
- 16. Pressure, This pressure system means that there will be fair weather as it passes by. Air spirals out clockwise at low levels
- 18. Winds, A warm air rises, it cools and sinks back down to the surface at the horse latitudes.
