Across
- 4. measure of intensity scale for tornados
- 7. one air is pushed upward by a another difference air mass
- 9. air cools and sinks then is warmed by Earth's surface; travels in a loop
- 12. lines that represent places of equal pressure(hint: winds)
- 13. front that forms when a cold front over takes an already occurring warm front
- 14. situation in which the surface position of a front does not move
- 15. front along which a warm air mass overrides a retreating mass of cooler air
Down
- 1. mountain acting as barriers to the flow of air that forces air to ascend
- 2. lines that represent places of equal temperature
- 3. person who studies the weather, makes weather maps from information gathered using various weather instruments such as Doppler Radar, Weather Balloons, computers, and satellites
- 5. scale of measure of 1 - 5 of wind speed of hurricanes
- 6. air lefts into the atmosphere, cools, then forms clouds
- 8. low-pressure center characterized by a counterclockwise flow of air in the Northern Hemisphere
- 10. large body of air that is characterized by similar temperature and amounts of moisture at any given altitude
- 11. front along which a cold air mass thrusts beneath a warmer air mass
