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