Down:
1) The force exerted by the weight of air above a certain point. It can affect weather patterns and is measured using a barometer.2) The upward force generated by differences in air pressure that helps clouds and weather systems rise in the atmosphere, contributing to the formation of storms and precipitation.3) The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density, leading to the circulation of the fluid.5) A state of balance where opposing forces or influences are equal, such as when the amount of water evaporating equals the amount of water condensing.7) The amount of mass in a given volume of a substance, often expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cmª). It helps determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid,8) The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, including processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.9) The process by which liquid water changes into water vapor (a gas) when it is heated, often occurring at the surface of the liquid.10) The amount of water vapor present in the air.12) The day-to-day state of the atmosphere in a specific place, including factors like temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind.15) Areas on a weather map where air pressure is lower than the surrounding areas, often associated with stormy weather.16) Lines on a weather map that connect points of equal air pressure. They help meteorologists understand wind patterns and weather systems. |
Across:
4) The ability to do work or cause change. Energy can take many forms, including kinetic (motion), potential (stored), thermal (heat), and more.6) Anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter can exist in different states, such as solid, liquid, or gas.11) Any form of water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet, or hail.13) The process by which water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water, forming droplets, such as when dew forms on grass.14) A condition in the atmosphere where warm air rises and cool air sinks, often leading to stormy weather and turbulence17) The long-term average of weather conditions in a particular area over an extended period, typically 30 years or more.18) The transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself, often occurring in solids when they are in direct contact.19) A boundary between two different air masses, which can lead to changes in weather, such as temperature drops or precipitation,20) A measure of how hot or cold something is, usually measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (*F). |
