Across
- 3. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed
- 4. trash that is left on earth and in the atmosphere
- 7. keeps layer that helps protect us from UV rays
- 9. one way of increasing carbon dioxide
- 10. the process of carbon naturally interchanging between the lithosphere, biosphere,hydrosphere, and atmosphere
- 12. gases that keep heat from the sun in
- 14. Concentration of trace substances such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxide, hydrocarbons, and solid particulates, at a greater level than occurs in average air.
- 15. a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.
- 18. is used by electrical heaters, cookers for cooking food, short-range communications like remote controls, optical fibres, security systems and thermal imaging cameras which detect people in the dark. The heating effect of IR can cause burns to the skin.
- 19. were most weather occurs
- 20. is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities
- 21. the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
- 23. Rain containing acids that form in the atmosphere when industrial gas emissions (especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) combine with water.
- 24. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
- 25. were meteoroids burn up
Down
- 1. the hottest layer of the atmosphere
- 2. produced during the burning of fossil fuels
- 5. produced during photosynthesis
- 6. keeps our planet the perfect temperature
- 8. The addition of any substance that has a negative affect on water or the living things that depend on the water.
- 11. Any significant change in measures of climate, such as temperature, precipitation, or wind, lasting for an extended period of a decade or longer.
- 13. sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases
- 16. best science teacher
- 17. is emitted during the production and transport of coal
- 22. where normal pilots fly
