Across
  1. 3. Water that moves across the land surface and into streams and rivers rather than soaking into the earth
  2. 4. In the water cycle, the change of state from liquid to a gas, movement of surface water to the atmosphere
  3. 7. Water above the surface of the land, including lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, floodwater, and runoff.
  4. 8. In the water cycle, a change of state from a gas to a liquid due to a cooling or compression.
  5. 9. the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
  6. 10. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
  7. 11. Flow of water from the land surface into the subsurface beneath the earth's crust; downward movement of water through the soil.
  8. 13. The falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)
  9. 14. a lowland area, such as a marsh or swamp, that is saturated with moisture, especially when regarded as the natural habitat of wildlife.
  10. 16. The process of purifying water to make it suitable for consumption and utilization
  11. 17. the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
  12. 18. A body of porous rock or sediment layers that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater.
  13. 19. Non-living things found within the ecosystem such as water, soil, sunlight, temperature
  14. 20. any water that has been used by humans. This includes human sewage, water drained from showers, tubs, sinks, dishwashers, washing machines, water from industrial processes, agricultural and storm water runoff.
  15. 21. Consists of all life on Earth and all parts of the Earth in which life exists, including land, water, and the atmosphere.
Down
  1. 1. The mostly solid, rocky part of the Earth; extends from the center of the core to the surface of the crust.
  2. 2. all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
  3. 3. an area of the Earth's surface from which water percolates down into an aquifer
  4. 5. loss of water as a gas vapor from a plant through the pores in its leaves
  5. 6. Water held under the surface of the earth's crust; water in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
  6. 12. Rain containing acids that form in the atmosphere when industrial gas emissions (especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) combine with water.
  7. 15. A layer of permeable rock or soil in which the cracks & pores are COMPLETELY FILLED with water
  8. 18. A thin layer of gases surrounding Earth that is a component of the water cycle
