Hydrosphere & Atmosphere
Across
- 2. water turning from a liquid to a gas
- 6. most abundant element in atmosphere
- 8. the measure of ability to transmit fluids
- 9. heat transfer by waves
- 10. percentage of rock that contain open spaces
- 12. The continuous movement of water between the Earth and the atmosphere
- 14. an aquifer surrounded by a layer of impermeable rock or clay that impedes water flow
- 15. water turning from a gas to a liquid
- 19. ocean currents on the top of the water that are driven by wind
- 22. location of ozone layer
- 23. A land area that is covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year
- 24. hottest layer, has the ionosphere
- 26. an aquifer made of porous rock covered by soil out of which water can easily flow
- 29. first atmosphere's 2 elements
- 30. water flowing over the lands surfaces
- 31. Currents that are caused by the differences in the density of ocean water. These currents move and mix water around the world.
- 32. water located beneath the ground surface
- 33. water droplets falling to Earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail
- 34. heating of earth by the atmosphere absorbing radiation
- 35. The land area that supplies water to a river system in a localized area. There are several water sheds in a river basin.
Down
- 1. absorbs 95% of Ultraviolet radiation
- 3. underground layers of porous rock saturated with water
- 4. boundary between different air masses
- 5. A habitat in which the fresh water of a river meets the salt water of the ocean.
- 7. water pollution source that does not have a specific point of origin
- 11. a molecule of 3 oxygen; protects from harmful uv radiation in the stratosphere
- 13. evaporation of water from plant leaves
- 16. atmosphere has 21% of this element
- 17. transfer of heat by flow; hot rising and cool sinking
- 18. 0-17 km above Earth's surface, site of weather, organisms
- 20. transfer of heat by touch
- 21. this layer burns up meteors
- 25. water soaking in and entering the soil
- 27. point temperature which air cools to reach saturation
- 28. the top surface of ground water
- 33. pollution source that enters a body of water from a specific source
