Across
- 3. Large body of air that has the same characteristics of temperature and moisture content at the part of the Earth’s surface over which it formed
- 6. Violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground crossing land in a narrow path
- 7. The temperature at which air is saturated and condensation forms (usually found on the ground in the morning
- 8. A large, swirling, low pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic ocean. It has winds of at least 120 km/h and loses force/power when it reaches land
- 10. When air is cooled to its dew point near the ground, it forms a stratus cloud
- 12. Humidity The measure of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount the air can hold at a specific temperature
- 13. Winter storms that last at least 3 hours with low temps, poor visibility and high winds of blowing a falling snow
- 14. Water falling from the sky as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Its form is determined by the temperature.
- 15. Boundary between 2 air masses of different density, moisture, or temp.; can be cold, warm, occluded, and stationary
Down
- 1. The amount of water vapor present in the air
- 2. Model Weather conditions and using symbols on a map
- 4. on a weather map that connects points of equal temps
- 5. A person who studies the weather
- 9. on a weather map that connects points having equal atmospheric pressure; also indicate the location of high and low pressure and wind speed
- 11. The state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place
