Across
- 1. breeze A breeze coming from the sea toward the land
- 3. A powerful cyclone (low pressure area that contains rising warm air) that forms over a tropical ocean
- 4. Clouds that form at or near the ground
- 6. breeze A breeze coming from the land towards the sea
- 8. The process of changing a liquid to a gase; water enter the atmosphere
- 11. Frozen particals of water vapor that falls to eath in the form of white, crystalline flacks
- 12. The amount of water vapor in the air
- 13. Water falling to earth when condensation occurs when water molecules reach about 0.2mm in size
- 15. occurs When water vapor condenses directly onto a surface
- 16. The general conditions of temperature and precipitation for an area over a long period of time
- 18. The changing of a gas to a liquid; in the water cycle this occurs when invisible water vapor changes into a liquiad water
- 22. front A front that occurs when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass and no movement occurs
- 24. Frozen raindrops that form when droplets freeze in layers around a small nucleus of ice
- 25. The meeting of two air masses having differnt properties and that do not mix readily
- 26. A larg body of air that has the same amount of moisture (humidity) and pressur throughout
- 27. Raindrops that falls through layers of air that below 30 degrees
Down
- 1. currents Circulation of warm and cold ocean waters in convection patterns
- 2. Plants release water vapor into the air
- 4. Rain falls and land on cold surface and freezes
- 5. Moving air, especially a natural and perceptible movement of air parallel to or along the ground
- 7. The formation of a visible mass in air where water condenses on tiny
- 9. A rapidly whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud
- 10. winds Convection regions in Earth's atmosphere and the spinning of Earth on its axis cause winds to blow in prevailing directions around Earth
- 14. A storm with thunder, lightning, heavy rains, and strong winds
- 16. front A formation that occurs when a mass of cold air meets and pushes under a mas of warm air creating violent storms followed by cool weather
- 17. The day-to-day condition of the atmospere
- 19. The temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses
- 20. stream A narrow belt of strong, high-speed, high-pressure air flowing from west to east around Earth
- 21. Lines on a weather map that connect areas of equal temperature readings
- 23. fron A formation that occurs when a mass of warm air overtakes a cold air mass and moves over it forming rain and showers
