Down: 1) occurs on or about June 21, the Sun reaches its most northerly point in the sky, directly overhead along the tropic of Cancer.3) are huge rotating masses of low pressure characterized by strong winds and torrential rain.4) is broken by wind stress and wave action into disk shaped pieces.7) it’s the region between the tropics where the trade winds converge. 9) when an equal amount of solar energy is applied to both land and ocean.10) curve to the left due to the Coriolis Effect and blow from the southeast to the northwest.12) Heat budget16) it keeps the earth’s surface and low atmosphere warm.19) a cell between the 60 and 90 degrees latitude.20) is when descending air at the poles creates high-pressure regions. 23) divides cyclones into categories based on wind speed and damage.24) describes the conditions of the atmosphere at a given time and place.28) the sub polar region experiences extensive precipitation due to the sub polar low.32)  composing of the rising and sinking air moving in a circular fashion similar to the convection in Earth’s mantle. 35) it is held fast and/or firmly close to the shore.38) surface temperatures that stay or are near the freezing point 42) floating ice that has been driven together into single mass Across: 2) at 269 meters long at the time of its manufacture the world’s largest passenger ship and the world’s largest movable object5) the boundary between to wind trade belts along the equator.6) the boundary between the trade winds and the prevailing westerlies. 8)  the region that spans the Equator. 11) Belts of high pressure that are centered there, so the dry, descending air produces little precipitation and a high rate of evaporation. 13) masses of air that move across Earth’s surface from the subtropical high-pressure belts toward the equatorial low-pressure belt. 14) each hemisphere has a Ferrel cell between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. 15) is when air moves away form the high pressure at the poles. 17) In 1987, oceanographer John Martin determined that the absence of iron limited productivity in tropical oceans, so he proposed fertilizing the ocean with iron to increase its productivity18) one of the five major circles that mark latitude on the earth.19) thick ice that forms near the North Pole.21) are huge rotating masses of low pressure characterized by strong winds and torrential rain 22) air that descends form in the subtropical regions and moves along earth’s surface to higher latitudes. 25) when an equal amount of solar energy is applied to both land and ocean.26) as air leaves the high-pressure region and curves to the right, it establishes a clockwise flow of air around high-pressure cells.27) is when the descending air at about 30 degrees north and south latitude creates high-pressure zones 29) around 30 degrees north and south latitude, the air cools off enough to become denser than the surrounding air so, it begins to descend, completing the loop.30) the long-term average of weather.31) occurs in or about December22; the Sun is directly overhead along the tropic of Capricorn.33) curve to the right due to the Coriolis Effect and blow from the northeast to the southwest.34) changes the intended path of a moving body. 36) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change37) which occurs on or about March 21, the Sun is directly overhead along the Equator.39) strong westerly winds blowing from the southwest in the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest in the Southern Hemisphere. 40) A number of international conferences have resulted into an agreement amongst 60 nations to voluntarily limit the use of greenhouse gases. 41) rising air creates a band of low pressure at the Equator. 43) is used to distinguish such masses of water from icebergs. 44) is where all the weather is produced.45) are large volumes of air that have a definite area of origin and distinctive characteristics.46) [66.5 degrees south latitude], which at certain times of the year do not experience daily cycles of daylight and darkness. 47) [66.5 degrees north latitude], which at certain times of the year do not experience daily cycles of daylight and darkness. 48) one of the five major circles that mark latitude on the earth49) are huge rotating masses of low pressure characterized by strong winds and torrential rain50)  the boundary between the prevailing westerlies and the polar easterlies at 60 degrees north or south latitude. 51) occurs in or about September 23; the Sun is directly overhead along the Equator again.52) air moves across the ocean surface toward the low-pressure center.
