Across
- 4. a gradual increase in overall global temperature due to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
- 9. when the greenhouse effect goes out of control and the earth begins to heat up too much
- 10. main gas emitted from human activities; 93.5% of trace gases
- 11. too much of this can cause eutrophication
- 14. layer that protects the surface by causing meteors and meteorites to burn up here
- 16. much of this is released from livestock emissions
- 20. the process of gases trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere to keep the earth's temperature habitable for life
- 22. the mixture of gases surrounding earth
- 24. hottest layer because it is closet to the sun
- 25. greenhouse gases created by humans or as a by-product of human activity
- 26. layer where weather occurs
Down
- 1. greenhouse gases that are naturally occurring in the atmosphere
- 2. the burning of these creates many greenhouse gases
- 3. gas necessary for animals to breathe
- 5. a greenhouse gas that is part of the nitrogen cycle, but is not nitrogen
- 6. created as a substitute for CFC's, but are still powerful greenhouse gases
- 7. a greenhouse gas that is involved with weather and the water cycle
- 8. a gas that is in the sun; is atomic number 1 on the periodic table
- 12. gas that protects the earth's surface from harmful UV rays
- 13. gases that help to keep the temperature of the earth habitable for humans
- 15. causes the aurora borealis; in the thermosphere
- 17. the outer region of the atmosphere
- 18. makes up 1.3% of trace gases in the atmosphere; one of the main gases in the sun
- 19. man-made; ozone depleting
- 21. layer that houses ozone
- 23. layer of the atmosphere that contains a high amount of ions and is able to reflect radio waves; in the thermosphere
