Across
  1. 1. amount of water vapor in the atmosphere at a given location on earth's surface
  2. 4. amount of water vapor in a volume of air has reached a maximum amount
  3. 8. transfer of thermal energy by movement of heated material form one place to another
  4. 10. outermost layer of earths atmosphere
  5. 13. 85 km and 600 km above earhts surface
  6. 14. 50-85 km above the earths surface
Down
  1. 2. the mass per unit of volume of a material
  2. 3. transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves
  3. 5. the layers of gasses that surrounds earth Troposphere- closest layer to earths surface stratosphere - layer in which the air temp mainly increases with altitude
  4. 6. transfer of thermal energy between objects when their atoms or molecules collide
  5. 7. inversion- increase in temperature with height in atmospheric layer
  6. 9. humidity- amount of water vapor needed for that volume to reach saturation
  7. 11. heat- extra thermal energy contained in water vapor
  8. 12. point- temperature to which air must be cooled at a constant pressure to reach saturation
