Across
- 1. Phenomenon in which certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap and re-radiate heat energy, leading to a warming effect on the planet's surface and influencing its climate
- 2. Increase in size, volume, or dimensions of a substance or object due to an increase in temperature
- 4. Transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (liquid or gas)
- 7. Extremely small units of matter that make up all substances
- 8. Transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared waves
- 9. Average kinetic energy of particles in a substance or system, indicating how hot or cold it is
- 11. Ability to do work or cause change
- 14. Heat transfer through direct contact between objects or substances
- 16. Decrease in size, volume, or dimensions of a substance or object due to a decrease in temperature
- 17. State of matter characterized by a definite volume but no definite shape, where the particles are close together but can move and flow past each other
- 18. State of matter characterized by a lack of definite shape or volume, where the particles are widely spaced and have high freedom of movement
Down
- 1. Gases in the Earth's atmosphere that can trap and retain heat
- 3. Model that explains that all matter is composed of tiny particles that are in constant motion and have space between them
- 5. State of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume, where the particles are closely packed together
- 6. Process in which a gas or vapor changes into a liquid state, usually due to a decrease in temperature
- 10. Type of energy that moves from a hotter object to a cooler object
- 12. Process in which a liquid changes into a gas state at a temperature below its boiling point, occurring at the surface of the liquid
- 13. Process in which a substance changes from a solid state to a liquid state, usually as a result of an increase in temperature
- 15. Process in which a substance changes from a liquid state to a solid state, usually due to a decrease in temperature
