2. Thin layer of gases surrounding Earth
5. Gasses in Earth's atmosphere trap infrared
energy from escaping
10. Occurs in the troposphere when
temperature increases and altitude increases
12. The movement of air from areas of high
pressure to areas of low pressure
14. The transfer of thermal energy by the
movement of particles within matter
15. The atmospheric layer closest to Earth's
surface
16. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic
waves
17. The majority of sunlight is this type of
light
19. A wind that blows from the land to the sea
due to local temperature and pressure
differences
20. Water in its gaseous form
21. The contamination of air by harmful
substances including gases and smoke
1. The atmospheric layer directly above the
troposphere
3. The atmospheric layer farthest from Earth's
surface
4. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
combine with moisture in the atmosphere and
form precipitation that has a pH lower than
that of normal rainwater
6. Describes weather circulating air motions
will be strong or weak
7. Earth's rotation causes moving air and
water to appear to move to the right of the
Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the
Southern Hemisphere
8. Cold winds that blow from the east to the
west near the North Pole and the South Pole
9. Steady winds that flow from west to east
between latitudes of 30 degrees North and 60
degrees north, and 30 degrees south and 60
degrees south
11. a mixture of dust, acids, and other
chemicals that can be hazardous to human
health
22. Air pollution that forms from the
interaction between chemicals in the air and
sunlight
25. Can extend from the mesosphere to more
than 500 km above Earth
28. The transfer of thermal energy by
collisions between particles of matter
29. Near the top of the troposphere is a narrow
band of high winds
13. In the ionosphere is where these stunning
displays of colored lights are
18. The force that pulls all objects towards
Earth
23. Steady winds that flow from east to west
between 30 degrees North and 30 degrees
South.
24. This is greatest near Earth's surface
because the air molecules are closer together
26. Extends from the stratosphere to about 85
km above Earth
27. Wind that blows from the sea to land due
to local temperature and pressure differences
