Across
  1. 6. The layer in the Stratosphere that absorbs most of the potentially hazardous UV radiation that enters Earth’s atmosphere from the sun at about 10 - 50 km above Earth’s surface.
  2. 7. A convection current in the atmosphere, formed by air that rises greater than 60 degrees
  3. 10. When it occurs, it is a cooling of the Pacific Ocean between Papua New Guinea and South America beginning when trade winds get stronger. ( Warm waters moves to the EAST)
  4. 12. Deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the waters destiny which is controlled by temperature and salinity
  5. 14. The mid-latitude segment of Earth’s wind circulation where the air flows poleward and eastward near the surface and equator ward at higher altitudes; reverse of Hadley Cell
  6. 15. The layer closest to the earth, where almost all weather occurs; the thinnest layer. The temp decreases as the vertical (up and down) altitude(km) increases
  7. 17. The rock or minerals from which the soil derives and direct effect on the soil’s profile
  8. 18. A warming of the Pacific Ocean between South America and Papua New Guinea, This occurs where the trade winds in the region weaken, which causes the west coast of South America to experience warmer waters (Warm waters moves to the WEST)
Down
  1. 1. The outermost atmospheric layer
  2. 2. The interaction between and object traveling on earth and the rotation of the earth
  3. 3. The atmospheric layer between the mesosphere and the exosphere. Temperature increases as altitude increases.
  4. 4. A layer parallel to the soil surface who physical, chemical, and biological characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath
  5. 5. Silt,Clay,Loam,and sand
  6. 8. Low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking.
  7. 9. Results when one side of a mountain receiving more precipitation than the other side.
  8. 11. A vertical cross-section of the soil, made of layers running parallel to the surface
  9. 13. The third layer in the earths atmosphere, it extends from the stratosphere. The temp decreases as the vertical (up and down) altitude (km) increases. This is because of the lack of gasses that are able to absorb the heat from the radiation.
  10. 16. The layer closets to the earth where almost all weather occurs; the thinnest layer. The temp increases as the vertical (up and down) altitude (km) increases. This is caused by the ozone absorbing the radiation from the sun.
