- 9. steady winds that flow from west to east
- 11. describes whether circulating air motions with be strong or weak
- 12. area of stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone
- 14. occurs in the troposphere when temperature increases as altitude increases
- 15. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
Down
- 1. atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface
- 2. transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter
- 3. cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the North and South Pole
- 5. atmospheric layer directly above the troposphere layer
- 6. water in it's gaseous form
- 7. transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles within matter
- 8. a region within the mesosphere and thermosphere that contains ions
- 10. Thin layer of gases surrounding Earth
- 13. the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
