Winds and Energy

3. Conditions caused by a 'winter' monsoon.
7. Our local seasonal winds that bring in dry air.
10. During the afternoon, when cool ocean air comes onto land.
13. The major pressure zone surrounding the equator.
15. Apparent deflection of an object to the right in the northern hemisphere.
16. The fastest part of the Westerlies due to low friction.
17. The movement of heat in a gas or liquid due to differences in temperature.
19. Speed is a function of the steepness of the gradient.
20. Air warming and accelerating as it descends down a mountain.
21. This causes winds to slow and deflect.
22. Surface flow moves in a counter-clockwise rotation.

1. The major wind belt for our area.
2. This describes the lower angle of incidence, the less insolation is received on earth.
4. Major wind belt occurring between 0 and 30 degrees.
5. Nighttime cooling of air over land that then moves offshore.
6. The seasonal reversal of winds.
8. Large area of high pressure.
9. The temperature scale we use in the U.S.
11. The movement of air molecules from high pressure to low pressure.
12. Caused by friction between molecules.
14. The first law explains that energy is never created or destroyed.
18. The capacity or ability to do work.
