Across
- 2. areas of the ocean to promote algae growth.
- 6. the study of intentionally and artificially changing natural processes of the Earth.
- 8. reflective molecules that would be injected into the stratosphere.
- 9. very dry and less dense layer above the troposphere
- 10. describes the movement of water through evaporation, precipitation, runoff, and infiltration.
- 14. weakened the greenhouse effect due to the removal of carbon dioxide and oxidation of methane.
- 16. the process of capturing carbon dioxide produced from large point sources, such as coal-burning power plants and depositing it underground.
- 17. involves adjusting our lives and society to the expected future climate.
- 18. frozen seawater that floats on the ocean’s surface.
- 19. any permanent layers of ice covering a tract of land, especially in the polar regions.
- 20. of areas that have been clear cut.
Down
- 1. has the paradoxical effect of increasing the rate of both drought and heavy precipitation events.
- 3. formed as more ice is laid down each year.
- 4. thin layer of gases that surrounds the earth.
- 5. a period of time where the Earth’s overall surface temperature is lowered enough that glaciers form at the poles and in mountainous areas.
- 7. uses reflective surface materials to reflect more back into space.
- 11. a period of cooling that lasted from the 16th-19th centuries.
- 12. would be set on the maximum amount of carbon pollution that can be produced by a single facility.
- 13. strategies are designed to reduce emissions and stabilize the levels of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.
- 15. absorbs and scatters ultraviolet radiation
