Down: 1) cause the majority of a hurricane’s coastal destruction2) surface temperatures that stay or are near the freezing point 3) is used to distinguish such masses of water from icebergs. 4) it’s the region between the tropics where the trade winds converge. 5) describes the conditions of the atmosphere at a given time and place.6) the long-term average of weather.7) a cell between the 60 and 90 degrees latitude.8) the edges of glaciers form thick floating sheets of ice.12) is broken by wind stress and wave action into disk shaped pieces.15) when an equal amount of solar energy is applied to both land and ocean.17) is when air moves away form the high pressure at the poles. 18) as further freezing occurs the pancakes coalesce to form ice floes.20) each hemisphere has a Ferrel cell between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. 23) 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.24) occurs in or about September 23; the Sun is directly overhead along the Equator again.26) are huge rotating masses of low pressure characterized by strong winds and torrential rain28) divides cyclones into categories based on wind speed and damage.29) masses of air that move across Earth’s surface from the subtropical high-pressure belts toward the equatorial low-pressure belt. 30) air moves across the ocean surface toward the low-pressure center.31) is where all the weather is produced.32) occurs in or about December22; the Sun is directly overhead along the tropic of Capricorn.33) it keeps the earth’s surface and low atmosphere warm.35) regions that extend north and south of the equatorial region up to the Tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn.37) are large volumes of air that have a definite area of origin and distinctive characteristics.38) the boundary between the trade winds and the prevailing westerlies. 39) 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 productivity40) the sub polar region experiences extensive precipitation due to the sub polar low.41) the contact between a warm air mass moving in to an area occupied by cold air.44) changes the intended path of a moving body. 45) rising air creates a band of low pressure at the Equator. Across: 1) when an equal amount of solar energy is applied to both land and ocean.8) about 60 degrees north and south latitude rising air creates a band of low pressure at the Equator9)  composing of the rising and sinking air moving in a circular fashion similar to the convection in Earth’s mantle. 10) receives greater annual radiation then polar areas.11)  the contact between a cold air mass moving into an area occupied by warm air. 13) originate by breaking off of glaciers.14) curve to the right due to the Coriolis Effect and blow from the northeast to the southwest.16) one of the five major circles that mark latitude on the earth.19)  the boundary between the prevailing westerlies and the polar easterlies at 60 degrees north or south latitude. 21) [66.5 degrees north latitude], which at certain times of the year do not experience daily cycles of daylight and darkness. 22) as air leaves the high-pressure region and curves to the right, it establishes a clockwise flow of air around high-pressure cells.25)  the region that spans the Equator. 27) is when the descending air at about 30 degrees north and south latitude creates high-pressure zones 34) Belts of high pressure that are centered there, so the dry, descending air produces little precipitation and a high rate of evaporation. 36) thick ice that forms near the North Pole.42) are huge rotating masses of low pressure characterized by strong winds and torrential rain 43) [66.5 degrees south latitude], which at certain times of the year do not experience daily cycles of daylight and darkness. 46) one of the five major circles that mark latitude on the earth47) Heat budget48) is when descending air at the poles creates high-pressure regions. 49) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change50) occurs on or about June 21, the Sun reaches its most northerly point in the sky, directly overhead along the tropic of Cancer.51) curve to the left due to the Coriolis Effect and blow from the southeast to the northwest.52) it is held fast and/or firmly close to the shore.53) A number of international conferences have resulted into an agreement amongst 60 nations to voluntarily limit the use of greenhouse gases. 54) which occurs on or about March 21, the Sun is directly overhead along the Equator.55) strong westerly winds blowing from the southwest in the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest in the Southern Hemisphere. 56) air that descends form in the subtropical regions and moves along earth’s surface to higher latitudes.
