Earth's Atmosphere/Weathering & Erosion/Scientific Method
Across
- 2. the mechanical and chemical processes that change the Earth's surface over time
- 5. the measurable data that we collect in an experiment
- 8. the closest layer to the Earth (where weather occurs)
- 9. the laying down or settling of eroded materials
- 12. the metric unit of measurement for distance
- 13. a thin layer within the stratosphere that protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation
- 14. rock material that forms when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces or dissolved in water as rock erodes
- 15. the moving of weathered material, or sediment, from one location to another
Down
- 1. this is the coldest layer of the atmosphere, however, it is where meteors burn up
- 3. the metric unit of measurement for weight
- 4. the name of our class pet
- 6. an educated guess (If..., then..., because...)
- 7. a thin layer of gases surrounding the Earth
- 10. the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
- 11. the one variable in an experiment that is different or that you change
