Across
  1. 1. The process of a liquid converting to the gaseous state.
  2. 5. A long, narrow ditch in a body of water.
  3. 10. The measure of the acidity.
  4. 11. A usually triangular mass of sediment, especially silt and sand, deposited at the mouth of a river.
  5. 12. A large moving body of ice.
  6. 13. A ____tide is a less than average tide occurring at the first and third quarters of the moon.
  7. 14. Water Water that does not contain salt.
  8. 17. An aquifer is an underground layer where the material contains water. It can be less solid material like sand, gravel, clay or silt, but it can be rock as well as long as the rock allows water to get in (that means that it is water-bearing). From such layers or groundwater can be usefully extracted using a well.
  9. 18. The measurement of how transparent a liquid is; directly related to the amount of suspended particles. High turbidity has low transparency (cloudy). Low turbidity has high transparency (clear).
  10. 20. Daily change in water levels of the oceans.
  11. 21. Water that flows through a "channel" in the surface of the ground.
  12. 23. This gas dissolved in water is necessary for fish and many aquatic invertibrates to live in the water
  13. 24. The measure of the concentration of salt in water.
  14. 25. Non drinkable water.
  15. 26. Material (like sediment) being added to a landform.
  16. 27. A tide just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.
  17. 28. The removal of salt
  18. 30. A very long narrow elevation on the ocean floor that runs all the way from Iceland in the North Atlantic to Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic.
  19. 31. The undersea extension of a continent which can stretch for miles out to sea.
  20. 33. An area of land where surface water from rain and melting snow or ice converges to a single point.
  21. 34. An area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas.
Down
  1. 1. The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.
  2. 2. Drinkable.
  3. 3. A large area of salt water between continents.
  4. 4. Ice Cap A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of a planet or natural satellite that is covered in ice.
  5. 6. A measurement of the number of different species of organisms in a particular place/area.
  6. 7. The non drinkable water contained in the oceans.
  7. 8. In water: a circular movement of water particles that causes a change in pattern that moves along the water surface.
  8. 9. Movement of water through a membrane of an area of lower water concentration to one of higher water concentration.
  9. 10. A small mass of solid or liquid matter that remains individually dispersed a liquid.
  10. 11. Technique for separating solutions that involves boiling and condensation.
  11. 13. A substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.
  12. 15. The processes that circulates H2O between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
  13. 16. Separation of solids from water that is used in Lifestraw (TM)
  14. 19. The combined calcium and magnesium content of water. Usually expressed in Parts Per Million (ppm).
  15. 22. A crescent-shaped lake (often temporary) that is formed when a meander of a river is cut off from the main channel.
  16. 29. Specific structures or behaviours that increase an organism's chance of survival or reproduction.
  17. 32. The daily rise and fall of water due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
