Across
- 3. The state of the atmosphere with short-term changes of a certain place and time.The state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold.
- 5. Gases in a thin layer surrounding Earth. (Approx 800 km tick)
- 8. Layer above the Mesosphere.Extends from 85-800km Temperature increases as higher you go (above 800 degrees Celsius). It is the largest layer.
- 9. Water in its gaseous form. Each molecule is separated from the others.
- 10. It's a high concentration of ozone in an area of the Stratosphere. Blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun.
- 11. Circulation of particles by differences in thermal energy and density causing a material. It is the way fluids transfer energy.
- 12. Weather conditions that occur in a particular region.
- 14. Column of air applies on the air or a surface below it creating a force.
- 16. Region contains ions between the Mesosphere and the thermosphere. Located 60-5000 km above the Earth
Down
- 1. The lowest region of the atmosphere, which means that it is closest to Earth. Extends to altitudes between 8-15km (average 10km)
- 2. Whether circulation air motions will be strong or weak. When are is unstable circulation motions are strong during stable conditions circulation motions are weak.
- 4. The outermost layer of Earth. Pressure and density are so low. Does not have a definite edge and molecules that are part of it can escape to space.
- 6. Layer above the Troposphere.Extends from 15-50 km above Earth's Surface. The higher you go the temperature gets higher/warmer.
- 7. Collisions between particles transfer thermal energy. It requires any physical contact between the source (hot object) and the substance/object(cold)
- 13. Extends from 85-800km Temperature increases the higher you go (above 800 degrees Celsius). It is the largest layer.
- 15. The energy that is carried or transferred by electromagnetic waves. Waves can travel through empty spaces.
