Down:
1) Forms over the warm Pacific Ocean, moves northeastward, rarely reaches the Pacific Coast, if it does reach it, then it brings heavy precipitation in winter to the Southwest and Pacific Coast2) The air masses are moving parallel to each other and thereforeone air mass is not overtaking the other, the front doesn't move although, the air masses themselves maybe moving, the weather produced is similar to that of a warm front4) Forms in northern Canada, moves southeast, in summer it brings cooler dry air, in winter brings clear very cold air5) Pressure differences create world wide wind patterns called wind cells, which are influenced by the coriolis effect of the earths rotation, When pressure differences are small a large body of air will remain stationary for a period of time over a given region7) Air masses which form over ocean that contain a lot of water vapor9) A cold air mass overtakes a warm air mass, the cold air lifts the warm air up and over the cold air, a slow moving front produces some cloudiness and precipitation11) Warm, moist air rises, condenses, and forms a cumulus cloud about 4.7 miles high13) This is a globe circling boundary where cold polar air meets warmer air of the middle latitudes, in the summer the polar front is north of the Great Lakes in the winter time its just south of Florida, it is not a straight line, it bends and waves aided by the jet stream winds14) a boundary region between two air masses16) A large, circular flow of air, around a low pressure, flow counter clock wise, brings cloudy, stormy weather |
Across:
3) The basic cause is when a small section of warm air in a warm, moist (mT) air mass is heated and rises6) Forms over the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Ocean, moves northeastward, rarely reaches the Pacific Coast7) Forms over the northern atlantic ocean, move eastward, mostly affects Europe, occasionally affects New England, in summer it brings cool foggy air, in winter it brings rain and snow8) A fast-moving cold front over takes a warm air mass and lifts it completely off the ground, the approching cold air mass then comes into contact with more cold air beneath the lifted warm air the warm air mass is completely cut off 10) Forms over New Mexico and the southwest U.S, moves northeastward, brings clear dry hot weather12) Forms over the northern pacific ocean, moves eastward, mostly affect the pacific coast, in summer bring cool foggy air, in winter it bring rain and snow15) a warmer air mass overtakes a colder air mass, the warmer air rises over the cooler air, the slope of the fronts is more gradual than that of a cold front17) Air masses which form over land18) The earths surface creates pressure differences as warm air rises over equatorial regions, it creates a low pressure area as cool air descends over polar regions it creates a high pressure area19) A bend in a polar front 20) A large body of air which has its own temp. and humidity characteristics 21) A region of high pressure with clockwise air flow around its center, brings clear, fair weather, |
