Across
- 2. They helps remove carbon dioxide and produce a lot of Oxygen yearly
- 3. A gas that comes from water that evaporates into the atmosphere
- 5. It is one of the best natural reflectors of sunlight, reflecting around 85%
- 6. When there is a lack of water in a certain area, causing plants and animals to be affected
- 8. The planting of trees in an area that was not previously forested
- 9. Microscopic animals that have been frozen for thousands of years and are waking up and feeding on newly thawed carbon remains.
- 11. The upper layer in the ocean that sunlight penetrates, allowing for photosynthesis
- 12. An icy expanse of soil that contains carbon-rich nutrients and animal remains, is sustained in a permanently frozen state.
- 13. It speeds up the ice melting in the Arctic, so there are fewer good reflective surfaces
- 14. A powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere.
Down
- 1. Moves warm air away from the Arctic so it does not melt
- 4. The ability of a surface to reflect light; white surfaces have high albedo
- 7. Happens mostly from human activities or natural disasters, destroying areas
- 10. The process of burning fossil fuels
- 15. One of the worst reflectors of sunlight absovering abround 90%
