Weather
Across
- 2. the energy transfer during which hot fluid rises and cold fluid sinks creating a cycle
- 6. the layer of the atmosphere that begins at Earth's surface and extends upward for an average of 15 kilometers the layer in which weather happens
- 8. the gases that surround the earth
- 9. any horizontal movement of air
- 10. a state of matter in which molecule move freely independent of each other flowing like a fluid
- 12. the gaseous state of water a variable gas in the atmosphere
- 13. a gas in the atmosphere for which relative amounts stays constant including oxygen and nitrogen
- 14. an instrument that measures thermal energy as temperature
Down
- 1. a greenhouse gas in earth's atmosphere created by both human and natural processes containing one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms
- 3. an atmospheric gas whose amount changes based on the environment including water vapor and CO2
- 4. the energy of motion
- 5. the total amount of matter in an object
- 7. severe weather that results from cold air flowing under a warm humid air mass over land resulting in lighting thunder heavy precipitation and possible tornadoes
- 11. a gas that absorbs and radiates energy in the atmosphere trapping thermal heat
