Layers of the Atmosphere & Heat Transfer
Across
- 2. the layer of the atmosphere where ultraviolet radiation is absorbed
- 4. layer above the troposphere where temp increases with altitude
- 5. measure of how hot (or cold) something is
- 7. uppermost layer of the atmosphere where temp increases with altitude
- 8. the kinetic energy of a substance's atoms
- 9. the mixture of gases that surround the Earth
- 10. warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth
- 11. the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temp decreases with altitude
- 12. the transfer of energy as heat through a material
- 14. the movement of matter due to differences in density
Down
- 1. the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
- 3. layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere where temp decreases with altitude
- 5. an increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in temp
- 6. the measure of the force with which particles in the air push on an area of a surface
- 13. the energy transferred between objects that are at different temps
