Across 6. the difference between incoming radiation and outgoing radiation (3wds) 7. a factor that affects the climate of a region 9. the amount of solar radiation received by a region of Earth's surface 17. bands of fast moving air in the stratosphere (2wds) 18. this factor affects the angle of incidence of light from the sun 20. weather forecaster 22. emission of energy as waves - method of thermal energy transfer 23. carbon dioxide, water vapour, and methane are examples of these (2wds) 26. the living layer around the planet 28. the water layer around the planet 30. the main pathways for the transfer of thermal energy from the warmer latitudes near the equator to cooler areas near the poles (2wds) 32. the gas layer around the planet 33. method of thermal energy transfer through direct contact between the particles of a substance without the particles moving to a new location 34. region on Earth that has an unbalanced net radiation budget -more IR than OR 35. atmospheric layer closest to the Earth (where weather takes place) 36. the second most abundant gas in the atmosphere 37. environmental conditions that occur at a particular place at a particular time

Down 1. part of the net radiation budget equation (2wds) 2. the absorption of thermal energy by the atmosphere is known as this (3wds) 3. part of the net radiation budget equation (2wds) 4. almost all the energy on Earth is initially this form of energy (2wds) 5. a factor that affects the climate of a region 8. gas particles of this atmospheric layer are hot during the day and cold at night 10. average weather conditions that occur in a region over a long period of time 11. regions on Earth that have an unbalanced net radiation budget - less IR than OR(2wds) 12. atmospheric layer that has very little gas and low atmospheric pressure 13. this chemical process/reaction converts a tiny amount of solar radiation from the sun into chemical energy 14. photosynthesis converts a tiny amount of solar radiation from the sun into this (2wds) 15. a person who studies climate 16. this type of energy would escape back into space if it were not for the atmosphere (2wds) 19. atmospheric layer that contains most of the ozone gas in the atmosphere 21. the rock layer around the planet 24. the greenhouse gas that is the main contributor to the natural greenhouse effect (2wds) 25. these transfer thermal energy from areas of net radiation budget surplus to areas of net radiation budget deficit (2wds) 27. method of thermal energy transfer through the movement of particles 29. the source of all energy 31. the most abundant gas in the atmosphere 32. the percent of the incoming solar radiation that is reflected is known as this
