Across
- 6. Vapor – greenhouse gas that increases with temperature
- 8. Rise – increase in atmospheric temperature
- 9. Feedback – loop that increases or amplifies a change
- 12. – increase in effect due to feedback processes
- 13. Radiation – heat energy emitted from Earth’s surface
- 15. – measure of how much sunlight a surface reflects
Down
- 1. Feedback – loop that reduces or stabilizes a change
- 2. Absorption – process of taking in solar energy
- 3. – powerful greenhouse gas from natural and human sources
- 4. Effect – process of heat being trapped in the atmosphere
- 5. Dioxide – greenhouse gas released from fossil fuels
- 7. Trapping – retention of heat by greenhouse gases
- 10. Melt – melting ice that lowers reflectivity and increases warming
- 11. Cover – atmospheric layer that can reflect or trap heat
- 14. Loop – process where outputs influence the original change
