Across
  1. 1. Relationship between the mass of a substance and how much space it takes up. The mass of atoms, their size and how they are arranged determine this. It is one of the main reasons ice can float in water.
  2. 6. Movement of something (in this case pollution) down through the soil
  3. 8. An essential nutrient source of nitrogen for plants.
  4. 11. The cloudiness or haziness of water caused by suspended solids that are usually invisible to the naked eye
  5. 12. The process of removing salt from water.
  6. 15. The property created by cohesion that allows things like paperclips or insects to “float” on top of the surface of the water.
  7. 17. Water that has little to no salt; a salt content of less than 3 ppt (parts per thousand)
  8. 19. Highest elevation/level of groundwater (upper level of groundwater);uppermost level of saturated soil
  9. 20. The measurement of the amount of salt in the water.
  10. 21. A substance that dissolves other substances
  11. 22. A measure of how acidic or basic the water is.
  12. 23. The contamination of bodies of water by natural or manmade substances
  13. 25. The condition of water for a particular use; how “good” it is for that use.
  14. 26. Holes dug in the ground that we use to get water
  15. 28. Area of porous sand, gravel and limestone that is saturated with water. (Where well water comes from.)
  16. 32. Pollution that cannot be easily identified at one source. Ex: Runoff pollution
  17. 35. Water Moving along the top of the earth
  18. 37. The release of water from the leaves of plants.
  19. 39. Water vapor cooling and collecting together in droplets to form a liquid
  20. 40. The amount of oxygen in water that is available to organisms
  21. 41. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a specific quantity of a substance by one degree Celsius.
  22. 42. Particles being attracted to other substances. For example: water particles being attracted to the surface of a penny.
Down
  1. 2. The process of water going from a liquid to gas by exposure to air or heat.
  2. 3. The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces (like a narrow glass tube) due to the properties of adhesion and cohesion
  3. 4. Process of boiling water and collecting the vapor, then cooling it back into the liquid state; creates “Pure” water.
  4. 5. A mixture of freshwater and saltwater.
  5. 7. Water found below the earth’s surface.
  6. 9. Pollution that can be easily identified at one source. Ex: A pipe pumping waste into a pond.
  7. 10. The area of land where all of the water (above and below the ground) drains into for that region
  8. 13. Place/occurrence of when/where water is put back into the aquifer
  9. 14. The curved surface at the top of a column of liquid. Ex: Water in a tube will appear to have a dip in the top surface of the water. This is created from the cohesive and adhesive properties of water.
  10. 16. Water that has a saline content of more than 16.5 ppt (parts per thousand)
  11. 18. Nickname given to water because it can dissolve so many things
  12. 24. Rain that has a pH of 4.
  13. 27. The flow of water that occurs when excess storm water, meltwater or other water flows over the earth’s surface
  14. 29. The fact that water molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end.
  15. 30. Water falling back to the earth from clouds in the form of rain, hail, snow, etc.
  16. 31. Particles being attracted to particles of the same substance (in this case, water particles being attracted to water particles), rather than being attracted to particles of a different substance
  17. 33. Ability of something to move thru something else. In this case, water and pollution moving thru the soil
  18. 34. Model/process that describes how water moves from the earth, to the atmosphere and back to the earth.
  19. 36. The interaction of hydrogen (a positively charged atom) attaching to a negatively charged atom (like Oxygen)
  20. 38. The level of water vapor in the air.
