Name: ____________________________________________ Date: __________ Period: _____ TOC # _____ Weather Study Guide Across 1. After precipitation falls and it sinks into the ground. 3. _____ air and water is most dense. 9. When the condensed water in clouds becomes heavy and falls. 11. A cold air mass moves into a region occupied by warm air – bringing thunderstorms followed by sunny weather. 12. Precipitation that comes from cumulonimbus clouds and is caused by convection currents. 13. A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet and stall over an area – brings rain showers for a long period of time. 17. When the sun heats water and it rises. 18. Precipitation that starts and stays as a water droplet from cloud to ground. 22. Ocean currents are driven by _____ and wind. 24. The flow of hot and cold regions through a fluid. 26. Pressure associated with storms. 27. The most dangerous type of precipitation. Starts as a water droplet but freezes when it lands on a frozen surface. 29. A sea breeze usually occurs during the _____. 30. Wind that blow in from the land. 31. Heat transferred by electromagnetic waves. 33. Wind that blow in from the sea. 35. The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather, gets colder as altitude increases. 38. Clouds that are sometimes anvil shaped and bring thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hail. Down 2. Within the stratosphere, protects the earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. 4. _____ air and water is least dense. 5. The layer of the atmosphere that contains the Ozone layer. 6. A westerly wind blows in from the _____. 7. After precipitation, water flows from higher ground into a body of water. 8. Clouds that are low in the sky, grey and look like blankets or layers. 10. The coldest layer of the atmosphere, where meteorites burn up. 11. Heat transfer through liquids, air or solid rock is _____. 14. The hottest layer of the atmosphere. 15. Warm air and water always _____ when they meet cold air and water. 16. Precipitation that freezes as it falls though freezing air and lands as an ice pellet. 19. When water sinks deep into the ground through limestone and other layers. 20. Cold air and water ____ when they meet warm air and water. 21. Precipitation that starts as an ice crystal and stay an ice crystal to the ground. 23. Cold air and water sinks because it is more ____ than warm air and water. 24. When water vapor cools and clings to a surface. 25. A warm air mass moves into a region occupied by cold air – brings rain and followed by warm weather. 28. Pressure associated with nice weather. 32. A land breeze usually occurs during at _____. 34. The layer of air that surround the earth. 36. Clouds that are very high in the sky, made of ice crystals, look like wisps. 37. White, fluffy clouds, not very high in the sky, associated with fair weather. 38. Heat transfer through direct contact. Weather Study Guide
