2. wind – air that moves horizontally

3. convection cell – a pattern of rising and falling air, sinking air, and winds caused by unequal heating and cooling of the air

4. convection cell – a pattern of rising and falling air, sinking air, and winds caused by unequal heating and cooling of the air

5. convection cell – a pattern of rising and falling air, sinking air, and winds caused by unequal heating and cooling of the air

6. sea breeze – a wind that blows from the sea toward the land

7. sea breeze – a wind that blows from the sea toward the land

8. land breeze – a wind that blows from the land toward the sea

9. sea breezes vs. land breezes

10. Coriolis effect – no matter which way the wind blows, it will always pull toward the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in southern hemisphere.

11. Coriolis effect – no matter which way the wind blows, it will always pull toward the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in southern hemisphere.

12. isobar – a line on a map connecting places with equal air pressure

13. hygrometer - an instrument that measures relative humidity.

14. thermometer - an instrument that measures temperature

15. rain gauge - an instrument that measures temperature

16. weather vane- an instrument that wind direction

17. anemometer - an instrument that measures wind SPEED

18. barometer - an instrument that measures air pressure

19. low pressure system- a weather system that usually brings rainy weather.

20. high pressure system – a weather system that brings fair weather.
