Across
  1. 2. completely absorbed by the ozone layer
  2. 6. a mixture of gases that surrounds earth-mostly made up of nitrogen, CO2,O2
  3. 9. lower layer of thermosphere containing ions allowing radio waves to bounce off and aroras to occur.
  4. 10. shields our home planet from harmful solar and cosmic particle radiation
  5. 12. a layer in the stratosphere that blocks most ultraviolet radiation from the sun
  6. 13. temperature minimum at the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere atmospheric regions.
Down
  1. 1. energy transmitted as rays waves in the form of particles.
  2. 2. the middle wavelength of ultraviolet light.
  3. 3. the transfer of energy from place to place by motion of gas or liquid
  4. 4. very cold in temperature. a frigid climate.
  5. 5. It is the outermost layer of the Earth
  6. 7. region of atmosphere above the homosphere
  7. 8. a layer in the stratosphere that blocks most ultraviolet radiation from the sun
  8. 11. the fraction of the total light striking a surface that gets reflected from that surface
  9. 14. the longest wavelength ultraviolet light and is responsible for the actual darkening of the skin.
