Across
  1. 2. Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves that can increase molecular vibrations
  2. 3. Layer with lots of ozone where temp increases
  3. 6. Second most common gas in the atmosphere
  4. 8. Gas that protects from UV radiation
  5. 10. Process that changes the direction of radiation and sends it back toward where it came from
  6. 13. Region of constant temperature at ~50km height in atmosphere
  7. 15. Gas that makes up 0.03% of the atmosphere and a well known greenhouse gas
  8. 16. Transfer of energy by the movement of a heated substance
  9. 18. Strongest greenhouse gas in the atmosphere but present in variable amounts
  10. 20. Region of constant temperature at ~80km height in atmosphere
Down
  1. 1. Outer most layer of atmosphere with high concentrations of helium and hydrogen
  2. 4. Layer where temperature increases but air is so thin due to altitude that we would not feel the heat
  3. 5. Layer that contains most of the mass of the atmosphere and has most of weather
  4. 7. Middle layer of the atmosphere where coldest temperatures on earth have been recorded
  5. 9. Transfer of energy when molecules collide
  6. 11. Gas that makes up the majority (78%) of the atmosphere
  7. 12. Gas that makes up almost one percent (0.93%) of the atmosphere and is inert
  8. 14. Process that uses energy from shortwave radiation and converts it to heat and longwave radiation
  9. 17. Region of constant temperature at ~11km height in the atmosphere
  10. 19. Amount of sunlight reflected from planet
