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