Across
  1. 2. a steep incline of the ocean floor leading down to the abyssal plain from the edge of the continental shelf
  2. 3. A habitat in which the fresh water of a river meets the salt water of the ocean.
  3. 6. An underwater mountain chain where new ocean floor is formed
  4. 8. plain a large, flat, almost level area of the deep-ocean basin
  5. 11. The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
  6. 16. A small dust particle that water vapor clings onto high in the atmosphere as it undergoes condensation.
  7. 17. The movement of deep, cold, and nutrient-rich ocean water to the surface
  8. 18. A flow of groundwater that emerges naturally at the ground surface
  9. 20. A well in which water rises because of pressure within the aquifer
  10. 21. The upper zone which usually isn't completely filled with water, but with rocks and soil too. ( Is about Ground water)
  11. 23. a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater.
  12. 24. A fountain of water and steam that builds up pressure underground and erupts at regular intervals.

  3. 5. zone where all open spaces in sediment and rock are completely filled with water
  4. 7. The change of state from a gas to a liquid
  5. 9. A horizontal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near the ocean's surface
  6. 10. A gently sloping, shallow area of the ocean floor that extends outward from the edge of a continent containing large amounts of natural resources and marine life.
  7. 12. Ability of rock or soil to allow water to flow through it
  8. 13. an infiltration of salt water in an area where groundwater pressure has been reduced from extensive drilling of wells
  9. 14. the gently sloping surface at the base of the continental slope
  10. 15. The average level of the ocean's surface at any given time
  11. 19. an overflowing of water in a normally dry area
