Across
  1. 3. - the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth that occurs when water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases absorb and reradiate thermal energy
  2. 6. - the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas
  3. 9. - the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude increases
  4. 10. warming - a gradual increase in average global temperature
  5. 11. - a mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon
  6. 12. - the layer of the atmosphere that is above the troposphere and in which temperature increases as altitude increases
  7. 13. - the apparent curving path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth’s rotation
Down
  1. 1. - the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
  2. 2. - the lowest layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature decreases at a constant rate as altitude increases
  3. 4. - the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
  4. 5. - the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface
  5. 7. - the layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases
  6. 8. - the transfer of energy as heat through a material
