Across
- 2. the entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves.
- 3. the atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation.
- 6. to rid of impurities;cleanse.
- 8. transfer of heat in a fluid when higher temperature fluids expand and moves creating heat transfer
- 12. to be taken into a material without transmission or reflection.
- 13. material used to store thermal energy. Stone, concrete, adobe brick and water works best.
- 15. to cut down and clear away trees or forrest.
- 16. a hydrocarbon deposit deprived from living matter of a previous geological time used for coal, petroleum,oil.
- 17. the area or environment where a person or community lives.
Down
- 1. transfer of heat from a region og higher temperature to a region of lower temperature by increased kinetic energy moving from molecule to molecule.
- 2. the process of destruction of a surface by abrasive action
- 4. an increase in the average temperature of the Earths atmosphere.
- 5. a specific type of curved shape used in solar through collectors.the shape focuses at the sun at 30 to 100 times its normal intensity achieve temperature of more than 400 degrees.
- 7. the emission and propagation of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
- 9. to allow to pass through a material.
- 10. a non conductive material used to prevent the transfer of heat, electricity or sound.
- 11. the energy an object has due to the motion of its particles
- 14. to cause to bend back or return upon striking a surface
