Clues

  • a device that collects light, sound, radio waves and reflects them (9, 9)
  • a frequency capable of exciting a resonance maximum in a given body or system (8, 9)
  • a method devised in the UK to measure annoyance responses to motor vehicle noise (3, 7, 5, 5)
  • a reversal of the normal behaviour of the temperature in the troposphere in which a layer of cool air at the surface is overlain by a layer of warmer air (11, 9)
  • haze in the atmosphere accompanied by high levels of ozone and nitrogen oxides, caused by the action of sunlight on pollutants (13, 4)
  • non- carbon chemicals needed for plant growth (9, 9)
  • the conversion of solid coal to synthetic natural gas that can be burned as a fuel (12, 2, 4)
  • the implementation of various techniques for increasing the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field- thermal methods, gas injection, chemical flooding (8, 3, 8)
  • the outflow of acidic water from a mining site (4, 4, 8)
  • the process by which a compound/ toxin increases its concentration in the tissues of organisms as it travels up the food chain (16)
