Climate Change
Across
- 3. is the process of capturing carbon dioxide produced from large point sources, such as coal-burning power plants and depositing it underground.
- 4. the thin layer of gases that surrounds the earth.
- 6. absorbs and scatters ultraviolet radiation
- 8. is the study of intentionally and artificially changing natural processes of the Earth.
- 10. contains the air we breathe and every aspect of what we call weather
- 12. the exploitation of a shared resource for individual benefit.
- 13. Temperature data prior to the 19th century is the result of or indirect measurements
- 14. describes the movement of water through evaporation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration
- 15. uses reflective surface materials to reflect more back into space.
- 16. frozen seawater that floats on the ocean’s surface
- 18. darker areas on the sun’s surface created by intense magnetic fields.
- 19. strategies are designed to reduce emissions and stabilize the levels of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.
- 20. are reflective molecules that would be injected into the stratosphere.
Down
- 1. are any permanent layers of ice covering a tract of land, especially in the polar regions
- 2. is a very dry and less dense layer above the troposphere
- 5. is an underwater current fueled by the mixing of warm and cold salt water
- 7. ones that were released by human activity.
- 9. weakened the greenhouse effect due to the removal of carbon dioxide and oxidation of methane
- 11. was a period of cooling that lasted from the 16th-19th centuries.
- 17. involves adjusting our lives and society to the expected future climate.
