Down
- 1. average precipitation and temperature conditions in an area
- 2. soaking in or taking greenhouse gasses
- 3. capturing and storing carbon dioxide
- 5. forms when cool air sinks slowly when an area has not been heated strongly by the sun
- 6. chemicals
- 9. gasses being released
- 10. circulation in ocean waters that distribute energy
- 11. process moves carbon between the biosphere,hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere
- 12. tectonic plates move towards each other and colide
- 13. is the force of air molecules pushing on an area
- 16. small intense weather system that produces strong winds,heavy raining, and thunder
- 22. energy that spreads out from all direction
- 23. burning like the engine of a car burning fossil fuels
