Evolution of the atmosphere
Across
- 2. – Microscopic pores on the underside of a leaf
- 4. – Movement of carbon through atmosphere, organisms and Earth
- 6. - Gas taken in by plants for photosynthesis
- 8. – Increase in Earth’s average temperature
- 9. – Gas released as a by-product of photosynthesis
- 10. – Process where water vapour leaves the leaf
- 12. – Non-renewable energy sources releasing CO₂ when burned
- 13. – Mineral needed by plants to make proteins
Down
- 1. – Human activity increasing CO₂ levels into the atmosphere
- 3. – Process of breaking down of dead organisms releasing CO₂
- 4. – Green pigment that absorbs light energy
- 5. – Process where heat is trapped in Earth’s atmosphere
- 7. – Main product of photosynthesis used for energy
- 11. – Greenhouse gas released by landfills
