Across
  1. 7. the process of administering, organizing, and controlling a specific thing
  2. 9. accumulation of partially decomposed plant material
  3. 12. long-term temperature or other trends changing for a certain place or system
  4. 13. carbon dioxide + water + light energy yields glucose and oxygen
  5. 15. parts of the Earth’s surface where water is frozen
  6. 16. improvement in one area comes with a decline in another area
  7. 17. The size or level of observation, ranging from small to large, when studying a phenomenon.
  8. 19. Requiring oxygen. For example, aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
  9. 20. The part of the Earth where living organisms exist, including land, water, and air.
  10. 21. sink something that stores carbon and keeps it out of the atmosphere
  11. 22. fire a fire that reignites after smoldering over the winter
  12. 23. frozen earth, plant and animal material, and ice
  13. 24. Scar The area of land that has been damaged or changed by a fire, leaving visible marks or scars.
  14. 29. Glucose + Oxygen yields Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
  15. 30. chemical reaction that converts a fuel and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water
Down
  1. 1. a proposed explanation for the relationship between two variables in a phenomenon
  2. 2. The solid part of the Earth, including rocks, soil, and landforms.
  3. 3. The portion of the Earth that is water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
  4. 4. when the result affects the initial change
  5. 5. Not requiring oxygen. Anaerobic processes occur in the absence of oxygen.
  6. 6. Relating to the interaction between social (human) and ecological (environmental) factors.
  7. 8. The angle at which the Earth's axis is inclined, leading to seasons
  8. 10. The layer of gases surrounding the Earth.
  9. 11. anything that occupies space and has mass
  10. 14. factors that limit the possible solutions
  11. 15. energy stored because of how atoms are arranged or energy stored when atoms rearrange.
  12. 18. gasses that can trap heat in the atmosphere
  13. 21. sequestration the storage of carbon dioxide in vegetation, soils, and oceans
  14. 25. cycle how carbon moves between the atmosphere, soils, living creatures, the ocean, and human sources
  15. 26. the ability to do work or cause change
  16. 27. material that is easy to burn, releases energy
  17. 28. The efforts to control and extinguish fires to prevent them from spreading.
