Across
- 3. The temperature at which air with a given amount of water vapor will reach saturation
- 5. An instrument that measures air pressure in the atmosphere
- 6. The amount of water vapor in the air
- 8. The influence of Earth's rotation on objects that move over Earth
- 11. The comparison of the amount of water vapor inteh air with the maximum amount of wate vapor that can be present in the air at that temperature
- 13. Imaginary line around center of Earth (0 degrees latitude), divides Earth into 2 halves
- 14. "Middle layer", extends from 50-90 kilometers from the Earth, very cold
- 15. Wind blows from the land out to the water, occurs at night
- 16. A process by which a substance changes from its liquid state to its gas state by random particle movement
- 20. Winds directly above and below the equator, from 0-30 degrees latitude
- 22. "Outer layer", extends to 400+ kilometers above Earth's surface, temperatures increases with altitude
Down
- 1. "Turning layer", located 0-10 kilometers from Earth's surface, gets colder as you go up
- 2. The transfer of heat energy from one substance to another by direct contact
- 4. The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
- 7. Found at both poles, from 65 latitude and above
- 9. The transfer of energy from place to place by the motion of gas or liquid

- 12. The force of air molecules pushing on an area
- 17. A layer in the stratosphere that contains a concentration of ozone sufficient to block most ultraviolet radiation from the sun
- 18. "Charges particles"disrupt AM radio signals, especially at night
- 19. The horizontal movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
- 21. Energy that travels across distances in the form of certain types of waves
