ESS.7.1.2 Vocabulary and definition
Across
- 7. – Water stored beneath Earth’s surface in soil and rock formations.
- 8. – The release of water vapor from plants into the atmosphere.
- 10. – The process where water vapor cools and condenses onto tiny particles in the air, forming clouds.
- 13. – The continuous movement of water through Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans via processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
- 14. – The large-scale movement of air that distributes heat and moisture around the planet, affecting weather patterns.Humidity – The amount of water vapor in the air, which influences weather conditions.
- 15. – The process where water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming liquid first.Solar Energy – The energy from the Sun that heats water, causing evaporation and driving the water cycle.
Down
- 1. – Any form of water (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) that falls from clouds to Earth's surface.
- 2. – The process where water vapor cools and changes into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
- 3. – The process where solid ice or snow turns directly into water vapor without melting into liquid first.
- 4. Matter – The continuous movement of water, carbon, and other elements between Earth's systems.
- 5. – The process by which liquid water is converted into water vapor due to heat from the Sun.
- 6. – The recurring atmospheric conditions in a particular area, influenced by the movement of water through the water cycle.
- 9. – The force that pulls precipitation down to Earth's surface and drives the flow of water in runoff, infiltration, and groundwater movement.
- 11. – The temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, leading to condensation and cloud formation.
- 12. – Water that flows over Earth's surface into rivers, lakes, and oceans.
- 16. – The process of water soaking into the ground and becoming groundwater.
