Down: 1) Near the poles, the Van Allen belts intersect the atmosphere. The charged particles can escape; when they do, they create 3) The Sun has less effect because it is farther away, but it does modify the 4) depends on the density of the material.5) is ionized by solar radiation and is a good conductor 6) are due to the gravitational force on Earth from Moon—force on the near side of Earth is greater than force on the far side. Water can flow freely in response. 7) have been damaging the ozone layer, resulting in ozone hole 11) are longitudinal and will travel through both liquids and solids. 13) are transverse and will not travel through liquid, as liquids do not resist shear forces. 14) is located in the stratosphere; absorbs ultraviolet radiation Across: 2) occurs when ground is warmed by the Sun 8) Sunlight that is not reflected by clouds reaches Earth’s surface, warming it up. Infrared radiation reradiated from the surface is partially absorbed by the carbon dioxide (and also water vapor, not shown here) in the atmosphere, causing the overall surface temperature to rise. 9) produce both pressure and shear waves. 10) ____radio waves in the AM range, _______ to FM and TV 12) is where convection takes place—responsible for weather 15) is the region around Earth where charged particles from the solar wind are trapped 16) charged particles are trapped in regions called the ______ where they spiral around the magnetic field lines
