Cycles
Across
- 2. Ways that matter or energy is moved through a cycle
- 8. Going directly from solid to gas
- 9. Places where matter or energy is stored in a cycle
- 10. Type of change that creates a new substance, a reaction occurs.
- 11. Change in size, shape or state.
- 13. The type of matter with the highest kinetic energy; particles fly freely.
- 14. Reservoir that stores the majority of water on Earth as salt water.
- 16. One of the processes that moves water from the biosphere to the atmosphere; evaporation from plants.
- 18. The energy that drives all the water cycle.
- 19. Drives the cycles.
- 23. Evaporation of water from animals.
- 24. Series of repeating events that move energy and/or matter through a system - no beginning or end
- 26. Reservoir that stores 2% of water on Earth as solid water
- 28. Describes a change where energy is taken away - deposition, freezing, condensation
- 29. A state change; water to water vapor.
- 30. The system that includes the Earth's crust, mantle, and core
- 31. The system that protects the Earth; a layer of gases like a blanket.
Down
- 1. Going directly from water vapor to solid, like frost.
- 3. The type of matter with the lowest kinetic energy; particles just vibrate in place.
- 4. Process that forms clouds.
- 5. Solid state of water
- 6. H2O
- 7. Rain, hail, snow, sleet.
- 12. Process in plants that takes water from the atmosphere into the biosphere and uses it to create energy.
- 15. Describes a change where energy is added - melting, sublimation, or evaporation.
- 17. When water falls on the crust and goes into the Earth
- 20. All the water on the planet.
- 21. Water that falls on land and moves to reservoirs.
- 22. Water that has infiltrated the crust and is stored there.
- 25. All the organisms on Earth
- 27. Gaseous state of water.
