Across
- 4. gases like CO₂ and methane that trap heat
- 5. large-scale development of industries

Down
- 1. a self-reinforcing cycle (e.g., melting ice → less albedo → more warming)
- 2. human alteration of natural land (e.g., farming, cities)
- 3. intensification – increasing farming productivity, often at ecological cost
- 6. intense weather events (hurricanes, cyclones)
- 9. overflowing of water onto land
- 11. using more resources than necessary
- 12. warming long-term rise in Earth’s temperature
- 13. uncontrolled forest fires
- 16. loss destruction of places where animals and plants live
