  1. 5. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves (which do not need a medium)
  2. 6. the transfer of heat energy, generally in solids, through the collision of atoms in the
  3. 9. the transfer of heat energy in a fluid (gas or liquid) by the actual movement of the
  4. 10. gases gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour that exist in low
  5. 12. the extent to which a given object reflects light from the sun
  6. 14. all the water in the earth system, including the water in oceans, lakes, rivers, and
  7. 15. a blanket of air (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) and moisture that surrounds the earth
  8. 17. sink any material that absorbs radiant energy
  9. 18. the layer closest to the earth’s surface, extending upwards to approximately 15
  10. 19. weather conditions in an area that are averaged over many years
  11. 20. the day-to-day pattern of temperature and precipitation in your local area
Down
  1. 1. Light is an example.
  2. 2. energy: energy that travels by radiation, such as light
  3. 3. in the fluid from one place to another
  4. 4. above the ground
  5. 7. in the atmosphere; these gases allow sunlight in but block outgoing heat
  6. 8. waves: a group of waves that can travel through empty space and do not need a
