Across
- 2. The process of trapping heat radiation inside our atmosphere.
- 6. When mountains act as barriers to the flow of air, forcing the air up.
- 8. An increase in CO2 emissions, causing a change in regional weather patterns and climate patterns.
- 10. Weather conditions in an area over a specific amount of time.
- 11. 1000 deg C. Thickest layer.
- 15. Dry, cold winds that blow from the EAST.
- 16. Winds that blow from the WEST
- 17. Layers of gasses and particles that surround the Earth.
- 19. the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
- 20. Winds that blow towards the equator.
Down
- 1. Two joining air masses, where the denser (usually colder) one slides underneath the other.
- 3. The layer of the atmosphere that is the outermost layer.
- 4. The layer of the atmosphere that contains our weather.
- 5. When two similar air masses collide and both uplift.
- 7. This layer of the atmosphere contains the Ozone layer.
- 8. A chemical release from aerosol cans, refrigerators, etc. that breakdown the Ozone layer in our atmosphere.
- 9. The rotation of the Earth causing the perpendicular movement of wind currents on Earth.
- 12. Blocks UV rays from the sun.
- 13. This layer is extremely cold, and burns meteors due to its high density.
- 14. Body of air that has consistent temperature, moisture, and humidity.
- 18. gasses that Trap infrared/Heat radiation from the sun.
