Across
  1. 4. narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east, between 7km-16km above Earth's surface
  2. 5. forms when ground-level ozone and vehicle exhaust react in the presence of sunlight
  3. 6. protects Earth by absorbing large amounts of harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun
  4. 9. the transfer of energy from one object to another object through direct contact
  5. 10. the total kinetic energy of particles
  6. 13. the lowest layer of the atmosphere
  7. 16. precipitation, such as rain, sleet, or snow that contains acids from air pollution
  8. 18. the measure of the force with which particles in the air push on an area of a surface
  9. 19. a tiny particle of solid that is suspended in air or water
  10. 21. the energy that is transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
  11. 22. a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
  12. 24. the contamination of the atmosphere by pollutants from human and natural sources
  13. 25. the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
Down
  1. 1. the movement of air over short distances
  2. 2. the atmospheric layer above the stratosphere
  3. 3. the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter
  4. 7. the mixture of gases that surrounds Earth
  5. 8. the increase in volume that results from an increase in temperature
  6. 11. the layer of atmosphere above the troposphere
  7. 12. the apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to Earth's rotation
  8. 14. the transfer of energy as electromagnetic
  9. 15. the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and give off infrared radiation
  10. 17. the uppermost layer of the atmosphere
  11. 20. measuring how clean or polluted the air is
  12. 23. wind systems that occur at or near Earth's surface
