- 1. Has the greatest atmospheric pressure, where majority of our weather is located
- 4. The transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation
- 7. a greenhouse gas that traps infrared radiation heat in the atmosphere, we breathe it out

- 2. the burning of fossil fuels and releasing harmful gases and chemicals into the air
- 3. The Transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance
- 5. the weight of all air pressing down on the Earth's surface
- 6. the cutting down or burning of any vegetation, rids us of oxygen sources
- 10. Where meteorites and shooting stars burn up when entering our atmosphere, has some of the coldest temperatures
- 11. a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air
- 13. the chemicals destroying the ozone layer
