Across
  1. 2. body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater
  2. 4. plants release water vapor from their leave
  3. 5. any form of water that falls to the Earth’s surface from the clouds. Rain, snow, sleet, & hail are forms of precipitation.
  4. 11. the use of water by various users like homes, agriculture, industries, and environmental needs.
  5. 14. movement of water through the surface of land
  6. 15. the change of state from a gas to a liquid
  7. 17. the change of state from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid
  8. 19. movement of water through the soil itself
Down
  1. 1. the process of building urban areas to accommodate growing populations
  2. 3. the process that carries weathered material to new locations
  3. 6. the movement of water between oceans, atmosphere, land, and living things.
  4. 7. 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.
  5. 8. to make something completely wet; to fill with water
  6. 9. (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
  7. 10. the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy
  8. 11. the contamination of water bodies like lakes, oceans, rivers, and aquifers
  9. 12. the primary source of energy for all hydrometeorological processes. Solar energy evaporates water from the water and little from the land.
  10. 13. the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
  11. 16. 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.
  12. 18. the upper surface of underground water (groundwater)
