Across
  1. 1. Has the greatest atmospheric pressure, where majority of our weather is located
  2. 4. The transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation
  3. 7. a greenhouse gas that traps infrared radiation heat in the atmosphere, we breathe it out
  4. 8. one of the main atmospheric gases but this one is the one we breathe
  5. 9. Houses the ozone layer, as altitude increases so does the temperature

  14. 24. warming up of the earth due to certain gases in our atmosphere
Down
  1. 2. the burning of fossil fuels and releasing harmful gases and chemicals into the air
  2. 3. The Transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance
  3. 5. the weight of all air pressing down on the Earth's surface
  4. 6. the cutting down or burning of any vegetation, rids us of oxygen sources
  5. 10. Where meteorites and shooting stars burn up when entering our atmosphere, has some of the coldest temperatures
  6. 11. a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
  7. 13. the chemicals destroying the ozone layer
  8. 17. A "blanket" that covers the earth and protects it from harmful ultraviolet radiation
  9. 18. The movement in gas or liquid in which the warmer parts move up and the cooler parts move down
  10. 20. any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that is capable of absorbing infrared radiation, EX: CO2, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide
