(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

Atmosphere: The layer of gases surrounding Earth. It contains carbon dioxide and other gases that affect how energy moves through the climate system.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): A gas in the atmosphere that is part of the carbon cycle.
Solar variation: Changes over time in the Sun’s energy output. It can influence Earth’s climate, especially over some time scales.
Volcanic eruption: The release of material such as lava, gases, and ash from a volcano. Can affect climate, including by adding particles and gases to the atmosphere.
Weathering: The breaking down of rocks and other Earth materials over time. Rainwater containing carbonic acid can contribute to chemical weathering.
Albedo: The amount of incoming sunlight a surface reflects.
A piece of land ice, usually from a glacier, that breaks off and enters the ocean.
Climate: The long-term pattern of temperature and other weather conditions in a place or across Earth.
Freshwater: Water with very little dissolved salt. Glaciers store it on land, and seasonal glacial melt can supply water to people and ecosystems.
Accumulation: The buildup of snow over time when more snow falls than melts.
Axial tilt: The angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to its orbit. Changes in this tilt happen over long periods and can affect the distribution of sunlight on Earth.
Iceberg
Glacier: A large mass of ice formed on land when snow accumulates and compacts over many years.
Negative feedback loop: A series of linked changes in which the effects counter or limit an initial change, helping stabilize a system.
Ice age: A long period when Earth’s climate is colder and glaciers and ice sheets cover larger areas than they do today.
Carbonic acid: A weak acid that forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, including rainwater. It can contribute to the chemical weathering of rocks.
Geosphere: The solid parts of Earth, including rocks, soil, and sediments.
Ice-albedo feedback: A climate feedback in which melting snow and ice expose darker surfaces. Those surfaces reflect less sunlight and absorb more energy, which can cause additional warming and melting.
Compaction: The pressing together of layers of snow under their own weight.
Greenhouse effect: The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and re-emit some of the energy leaving Earth, helping the planet retain heat.
Anomaly: Deviation from what is expected or normal. It can be a data point, observation, or result that doesn't fit the established pattern, model, or baseline.
Positive feedback loop: A series of linked changes in which an initial change leads to further changes that amplify the original effect.
Carbon cycle: The movement of carbon among Earth’s systems, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, rocks, and living things.
Hydrosphere: All of Earth’s water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater, and water in the atmosphere.
Sea level rise: An increase in the average height of the ocean surface. It can result from warming ocean water expanding and from melting land ice adding water to the ocean.
Sea ice: Ice that forms when ocean water freezes. Unlike glacier ice, sea ice forms and melts in the ocean.
