Down
- 1. floods are sudden and unexpected taking place when very intense rainfall over a brief period.
- 2. can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
- 5. irrigation pipes and tubes deliver small amount of water directly to the soil at the roots of the plant or tree.
- 6. plants take up water from the soil and releases large amounts of water vapor into the air through their leaves.
- 7. cycle the movement of water around earth's surface.
- 8. glaciers flows downhill from where the snow and ice accumulated through mountains
- 9. small spaces between grains
