Across
- 2. atmospheric conditions meteorologists' measure to predict the weather including: temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, clouds
- 6. the energy of motion. For example, wind is moving air i.e., air with kinetic energy
- 7. includes the ground, water bodies, and objects found on the surface of earth
- 9. phrase used to describe what weather conditions are producing. Example: hurricane, rainfall
- 12. amount of water vapor (water in its gas form)that is in the air
- 15. large body of air that has the same thermal (temperature)and moisture properties
- 16. movement of air caused by the sun heating the Earth unevenly.
- 17. felt as heat, it's the total energy of moving particles in an object,
- 18. conditions that describe the atmosphere. Includes things like temp, humidity, etc
- 19. evaporated water in the atmosphere that falls as rain or snow
Down
- 1. atmospheric conditions at a specific time and place, such as temperature, wind,etc
- 3. a measure of how hot or cold something is. When increased, particles move faster; when decreased, particles move slower
- 4. the invisible mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. It's what we breathe and what we feel when the wind blows.
- 5. a prediction of what the weather will be like in the future
- 8. the movement (or transfer) of thermal energy (or heat) from a warmer object to a cooler one until both objects reach the same temperature.
- 10. visible masses of water droplets in the atmosphere
- 11. the transfer of heat from one object to another when they are touching
- 13. scientists that use special tools like satellites and radar to collect data about weather conditions and predict weather events
- 14. when two or more things effect each other. Ex: warm and cool air colliding cause wind
