Elements of Nature
Across
- 3. Natural cascades of water descending from a height, creating stunning landscapes and often associated with rivers and streams.
- 5. Visible masses of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, creating various weather conditions.
- 7. A meteorological phenomenon that forms a spectrum of light in the sky when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected.
- 10. The vast and interconnected expanses of saltwater covering a significant portion of the Earth's surface.
- 11. The sound produced by rapidly expanding air heated by lightning during a storm.
- 14. Elevated landforms with peaks and slopes, often formed by tectonic processes or volcanic activity.
- 15. The star at the center of our solar system, providing light and heat to Earth.
Down
- 1. Frozen precipitation in the form of ice crystals, creating a white covering on the ground.
- 2. Natural watercourses that flow towards an ocean, sea, lake, or another river, shaping landscapes.
- 4. A sudden and powerful electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground, often accompanied by thunder.
- 6. Water falling from the clouds in the form of droplets, essential for plant growth and ecosystems.
- 8. Dense and extensive areas with a high concentration of trees and other vegetation, supporting diverse ecosystems.
- 9. Arid regions with minimal precipitation, often characterized by sand dunes and unique plant and animal adaptations.
- 12. Large inland bodies of water surrounded by land, varying in size and depth.
- 13. The movement of air in the atmosphere, often felt as a gentle breeze or strong gusts.
- 14. Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around it and influencing tides.
