Across
- 2. The measure of how hot or cold the air is. It is the kinetic energy of the gases that make up air.
- 4. Dew point = the temperature at which the air would be completely saturated (100% humidity).
- 7. most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere
- 8. The area over which an air mass formed/originated.
- 11. Average temperatures and precipitation of an area over a year.
- 14. Large body of air with uniform temperature and moisture content.
- 15. (CH4)comes from Oil and gas, systems, ruminants, landfills, manure. Management, coal mining.
- 17. released from human activities (ex: industrial/manufacturing processes)
- 18. Where humans live and where weather happens
- 20. where planes fly
- 22. most common human-made greenhouse gas
- 23. this causes greenhouse gases to get into the atmosphere
- 24. a natural process that warms the Earth's surface
Down
- 1. temperature decreases as altitude increases
- 3. (CFCs)released through air-conditioning, refrigeration, blowing agents in foams, insulations etc.
- 5. most common gas in the atmosphere
- 6. burning this can cause a major impact on the planet
- 9. N₂O Oxide comes from wastewater that contains nitrogen-based organic materials, such as those found in human or animal waste.
- 10. Weight of all the air pressing down on Earth’s surface.
- 12. The general day to day conditions of an area.
- 13. When the air is full of water vapor. (100% humidity)
- 16. A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air.
- 19. absorbs a lot of the UV radiation and X-ray given off by the sun
- 21. (O3)Comes from the interaction of sunlight, particularly ultraviolet light, with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides
- 22. releases the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) during combustion
