  1. 3. Natural cascades of water descending from a height, creating stunning landscapes and often associated with rivers and streams.
  2. 5. Visible masses of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, creating various weather conditions.
  3. 7. A meteorological phenomenon that forms a spectrum of light in the sky when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected.
  4. 10. The vast and interconnected expanses of saltwater covering a significant portion of the Earth's surface.

  1. 1. Frozen precipitation in the form of ice crystals, creating a white covering on the ground.
  2. 2. Natural watercourses that flow towards an ocean, sea, lake, or another river, shaping landscapes.
  3. 4. A sudden and powerful electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground, often accompanied by thunder.
  4. 6. Water falling from the clouds in the form of droplets, essential for plant growth and ecosystems.
  5. 8. Dense and extensive areas with a high concentration of trees and other vegetation, supporting diverse ecosystems.
  6. 9. Arid regions with minimal precipitation, often characterized by sand dunes and unique plant and animal adaptations.
  7. 12. Large inland bodies of water surrounded by land, varying in size and depth.
  8. 13. The movement of air in the atmosphere, often felt as a gentle breeze or strong gusts.
  9. 14. Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around it and influencing tides.
