Across
  1. 2. The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
  2. 5. (Water below the surface) the precipitation that seeps into the deeper layers of soil and is stored in spaces between or within rocks. This water will slowly flow back into the soil, streams, rivers, and oceans.
  3. 6. The change of state from a gas to a liquid
  4. 7. The burning of cool, oil, and natural gas to produce energy
  5. 8. The upper surface of underground (groundwater)
  6. 10. To make something completely wet; to fill with water
  7. 12. The movement of water between oceans, atmosphere, land, and living things.
  8. 14. Body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater
  9. 15. Movement of water through the soil itself
  10. 17. The process of building urban areas to accommodate growing populations
  11. 20. Plants release water vapor from their leaves
  12. 21. The precipitation (water) that falls on the land and flows into streams, rivers, and lakes. When too much rain falls onto the ground, part of it "runs off" downhill due to gravity.
Down
  1. 1. The contamination of water bodies like lakes, oceans, rivers and aquifers
  2. 3. The clearing of thinning of trees by humans
  3. 4. Movement of water through the surface of land
  4. 9. The primary source of energy for all hydrometeorological processes. Solar energy evaporates water from the water and little from the land.
  5. 11. Is made from all of the Earth's water. This water includes water in the air, bodies of water such as rivers, and also ground water.
  6. 13. The use of water by various users like homes, agriculture, industries, and environmental needs.
  7. 16. Any form of water that falls to the Earth's surface from the clouds. Rain, snow, sleet, & hail are forms of precipitation.
  8. 18. The process that carries weathered material to new locations
  9. 19. The change of state from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid
