Across
- 3. a tool used to measure air pressure
- 5. a blinding snow storm with winds of at least 35mph temperature are below 20*F
- 8. the temperature at which air with a given amount of water vapor that will reach saturation
- 10. a low pressure system that starts in the tropics with winds of at least 40mph but less than 74mph
- 12. a calm weather system that occurs when air sinks and spreads out towards low pressure
- 16. the process by which liquid changes into a gas
- 19. a storm with lighting and thunder
Down
- 1. the amount of water vapor in the air
- 2. the process by which gas changes into a liquid
- 4. the force of air molecules pushing on an area
- 6. the comparison of the amount of water in the air with the maximum amount at water vapor that can be present at that temperature
- 7. a large and stormy weather system that occurs when air moves into a low pressure center then to higher altitudes
- 9. the boundary between air masses
- 11. a scientist who studies weather
- 13. any type of liquid or solid water that falls to earths surface
- 14. the horozontial movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
- 15. a rapid rise in water levels in a coastal area this occurs when a hurricane pushes a huge mass of ocean water this can sometime leads to flooding and distributions of property
- 17. a line on a weather map that connects places with the same air pressure
- 18. a large volume of air that has the same temperature and humidity but different locations and the same altitude
- 20. a violently rotating column of air stretching from a cloud to the ground
