Water Cycle
Across
- 2. downward movement of water through pores and other spaces in soil and rock due to gravity
- 5. Water falling to Earth as a liquid, solid, or mixture (rain, snow, sleet or hail).
- 9. the continuous movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and back to the ocean.
- 10. When a solid (like a glacier) turns to a gas without melting first.
- 11. What percentage of earth is covered with water.
- 12. An area of low-lying land where water collects sometimes referred to as a bog or marsh.
- 14. water located within the rocks below the Earth's surface.
- 15. When precipitation is not absorbed into the ground it will flow over land into streams and rivers and later into oceans.
- 16. What percentage of water on earth is saltwater.
- 17. Water vapor that comes from plants.
Down
- 1. a natural stream of fresh water flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels
- 3. When liquid water physically changes to water vapor(gas).
- 4. ability of water to move through soil.
- 6. a body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater.
- 7. When water vapor (gas) changes to water droplets (liquid) this process forms our clouds.
- 8. a large body of fresh water surrounded by land.
- 13. What percentage of water on earth is Freshwater.
- 17. What percentage of water on earth is frozen within glaciers.
