ATMOSPHERE & WEATHER
Across
- 3. - the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth that occurs when water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases absorb and reradiate thermal energy
- 6. - the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
- 9. - the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude increases
- 10. warming - a gradual increase in average global temperature
- 11. - a mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon
- 12. - the layer of the atmosphere that is above the troposphere and in which temperature increases as altitude increases
- 13. - the apparent curving path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth’s rotation
Down
- 1. - the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
- 2. - the lowest layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature decreases at a constant rate as altitude increases
- 4. - the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
- 5. - the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface
- 7. - the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases
- 8. - the transfer of energy as heat through a material
