Across
- 3. the amount of matter in an object
- 5. the transfer of heat from one place to another caused by movement of molecules; boiling water
- 7. the continual movement of water between the land, ocean, and the air
- 8. a form of weathering that includes oxidation, carbonation and dissolution
- 10. type of energy an object has because of its motion
- 12. a type of force where interaction between any two objects with mass that attracts them to one another
- 13. the average weather conditions in an area

- 17. the movement of weathered rock
- 19. erosion process where sediment is laid down
- 23. layers of gas that surround a planet
- 24. warming of air due to gases that cause less heat to be reflected than absorbed
Down
- 1. all of the water on, under, and above the Earth
- 2. a tool used to measure air pressure
- 4. properties of the atmosphere at a given time and location, including temperature, air movement and precipitation
- 6. map used to analyze weather data and make an educated guess about weather in the future
- 9. An object in motion stays in motion, unless acted on by a force. An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by a force
- 11. the transfer of heat energy within an object, or between objects that are directly touching each other
- 14. a force that exists between any two objects that have mass
