- 2. the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization
- 3. the lowest temperature theoretically attainable, at which the particles constituting matter would be in the lowest energy states available
- 4. the spreading of something more widely.
- 5. the degree of compactness of a substance.
- 9. corresponding in size or amount to something else.
- 10. continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
- 12. the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

- 28. Of two quantities: such that one increases in proportion to a decrease in the other
- 30. matter can be neither created nor destroyed
Down
- 1. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material
