  1. 4. The biological process by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy.
  2. 5. The long-term average of weather conditions—such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind—in a specific region over an extended period, usually 30 years or more.
  3. 6. The physical, chemical, and radiative processes where the Earth's atmosphere exchanges energy, moisture, momentum, or gases with solar radiation, the oceans, the land surface, and living organisms.
  4. 9. Wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm that can be seen by the human eye.
  5. 10. The rigid, solid, and coolest outer shell of Earth.
  6. 11. Wavelengths longer than 700 nm (near-infrared up to 3,000–4,000 nm); primarily perceived or measured as heat.
Down
  1. 1. A biological community that maintains its characteristic diversity, productivity, and nutrient-cycling rates over time despite natural disturbances.
  2. 2. Short wavelengths under 400 nm; higher energy and potentially harmful.
  3. 3. The combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of a planet, minor planet, or natural satellite.
  4. 7. The layer of gases surrounding a planet or celestial body, or a pervading mood and environment.
  5. 8. The global sum of all ecosystems, representing the narrow zone on, above, and below Earth's surface where life exists.
