Across
- 5. a fast-flowing, narrow band of strong winds high in the Earth’s atmosphere that blows mainly from west to east
- 6. the atmospheric conditions and weather patterns of a specific, small-scale area—typically spanning a few to tens of kilometers—shaped directly by local surface features like buildings, vegetation, soil, and water bodies
- 8. local wind systems along coastlines caused by how land and water absorb and release heat at different rates
- 10. large-scale air currents driven by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun and deflected by the planet's rotation
Down
- 1. an imaginary circle around the middle of Earth that is located halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole
- 2. he apparent curving or deflection of long-distance objects—such as air currents, ocean currents, and airplanes—caused by the rotation of the Earth
- 3. large-scale air currents driven by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun and deflected by the planet's rotation
- 4. large-scale belts or regions of the Earth categorized by 30-year average weather patterns, temperature, latitude, and precipitation
- 7. the transfer of heat through the physical movement of a liquid or gas
- 9. the emission or transmission of energy traveling through space or a material medium in the form of waves or particles.
