Across
- 3. the transfer of energy as heat through a material
- 5. the layer of atmosphere that lies between the troposphere and the mesosphere; contains the ozone layer
- 7. the movement of matter due to differences in density that are caused by temperature variations in fluids
- 8. the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogeneous material 1 Kelvin in a specified way given constant pressure and volume
- 9. the coldest layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere
- 10. the lowest layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature drops at a constant rate as altitude increases
- 12. the uppermost layer of the atmosphere
Down
- 1. a measure of randomness or disorder of a system
- 2. the warming of Earth's surface and lower atmosphere of Earth that occurs when carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases in the air absorb infrared radiation
- 4. any movement of matter that results from differences in density; may be vertical, circular or cyclical
- 6. the energy that is transferred as electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and infrared waves
- 11. the area of the atmosphere where ions form
- 13. a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy, or work
