  2. 6. most abundant element in atmosphere
  3. 8. the measure of ability to transmit fluids
  4. 9. heat transfer by waves
  5. 10. percentage of rock that contain open spaces
  6. 12. The continuous movement of water between the Earth and the atmosphere
  7. 14. an aquifer surrounded by a layer of impermeable rock or clay that impedes water flow
  8. 15. water turning from a gas to a liquid
  9. 19. ocean currents on the top of the water that are driven by wind
  10. 22. location of ozone layer
  11. 23. A land area that is covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year
  12. 24. hottest layer, has the ionosphere
  13. 26. an aquifer made of porous rock covered by soil out of which water can easily flow
  14. 29. first atmosphere's 2 elements
  15. 30. water flowing over the lands surfaces
  16. 31. Currents that are caused by the differences in the density of ocean water. These currents move and mix water around the world.

  18. 33. water droplets falling to Earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail
  19. 34. heating of earth by the atmosphere absorbing radiation
  20. 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. 1. absorbs 95% of Ultraviolet radiation
  2. 3. underground layers of porous rock saturated with water
  3. 4. boundary between different air masses
  4. 5. A habitat in which the fresh water of a river meets the salt water of the ocean.
  5. 7. water pollution source that does not have a specific point of origin
  6. 11. a molecule of 3 oxygen; protects from harmful uv radiation in the stratosphere
  7. 13. evaporation of water from plant leaves
  8. 16. atmosphere has 21% of this element
  9. 17. transfer of heat by flow; hot rising and cool sinking
  10. 18. 0-17 km above Earth's surface, site of weather, organisms
  11. 20. transfer of heat by touch

  14. 27. point temperature which air cools to reach saturation
  15. 28. the top surface of ground water
  16. 33. pollution source that enters a body of water from a specific source
