Down
  1. 1. The long-term heating of Earth's climate system
  2. 2. The result of cutting down trees
  3. 5. Moving air
  4. 7. It is the manifestation of thermal energy, present in all matter
  5. 8. The action of breathing that can be affected by pollution
  6. 9. Water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it
  7. 10. The form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures. Also referred to as thermal energy
  8. 13. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet
  9. 18. Weather event such as snow, rain, drought, flood, or storm that is rare for the place where it occurs
