Across
- 5. third layer of atmosphere, where meteorites burn up
- 7. produced during photosynthesis
- 8. The area over which an air mass formed/originated.
- 12. is the effect of gases trapping heat in the atmosphere
- 13. fourth layer of atmosphere, where gamma and x-rays are absorbed, Aurora Borealis also occurs here
- 14. comes from Oil and gas, systems, ruminants, landfills, manure, management, coal mining.
- 16. released from human activities (ex: industrial/manufacturing processes)
- 17. Large body of air with uniform temperature and moisture content.
- 18. A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air.
- 20. has multiple layers, comprised of 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other
- 21. produced during the burning of fossil fuels, mainly coal, petroleum, and natural gas, also the third most common atmospheric gas
- 22. When the air is full of water vapor. (100% humidity)
- 24. burning this creates most of the human-made greenhouse gases
Down
- 1. first layer of atmosphere, where weather occurs
- 2. The phenomenon, occurs when a planet absorbs more energy from the sun than it can radiate back to space. Under these circumstances, the hotter the surface temperature gets, the faster it warms up.
- 3. gases that trap heat in the atmosphere
- 4. most common gas in the atmosphere
- 6. second layer of atmosphere, where ozone layer is
- 9. most common greenhouse gas
- 10. The general day to day conditions of an area.
- 11. The measure of how hot or cold the air is. It is the kinetic energy of the gases that make up air.
- 15. Average temperatures and precipitation of an area over a year.
- 17. Weight of all the air pressing down on Earth’s surface.
- 19. the temperature at which the air would be completely saturated (100% humidity).
- 23. between troposphere and stratosphere
