Across
- 2. The general day to day conditions of an area.
- 4. it extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground. The infamous ozone layer is found within here.
- 8. gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space.
- 12. the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward
- 14. 0.93 percent Composition of air
- 15. The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere
- 18. muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution.
- 19. Average temperatures and precipitation of an area over a year.
- 20. When the air is full of water vapor. (100% humidity)
- 21. Dew point = the temperature at which the air would be completely saturated (100% humidity).
- 23. 78 percent Composition of air
- 25. ex.the floating mist above a pot of boiling water
- 26. 21 percent Composition of air
Down
- 1. The area over which an air mass formed/originated.
- 3. Weight of all the air pressing down on Earth’s surface.
- 5. starts just above the mesosphere. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.
- 6. overabundance occurs when a species' population exceeds becomes so excessive that people deem it must be managed
- 7. the layer of the earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves.
- 9. the measure of how hot or cold the air is. It is the kinetic energy of the gases that make up air.
- 10. Large body of air with uniform temperature and moisture content.
- 11. When we burn oil, coal, and gas, we don't just meet our energy needs—we drive the current global warming crisis as well. Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change.
- 13. The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.
- 16. A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air.
- 17. gas that is found in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere.
- 22. 0.04 percent Composition of air
- 24. slows down your brain and your body's responses, and the effects of the drug varies depending on how much has been inhaled.
