HYDROSPHERE
Across
- 1. currents a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by forces acting upon this mean flow,
- 6. heat capacity the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount
- 8. to restore to a former state; make fresh or new again
- 10. a large underground chamber, typically of natural origin, in a hillside or cliff
- 11. a steep temperature gradient in a body of water such as a lake, marked by a layer above and below which the water is at different temperatures
- 12. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land
- 13. the electric current per unit area of cross section. It is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space
- 14. the system of springs and shock absorbers by which a vehicle is cushioned from road condition
- 15. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
- 18. a conceptual model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and the hydrosphere
- 21. to pass into or through a substance by filtering or permeating
- 23. climates a climate typical of the west coasts at the middle latitudes of continents, and generally features warm summers
- 24. an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas.
- 26. land consisting of marshes or swamps; saturated land
- 27. a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater
Down
- 2. a well in which water is under pressure; especially : one in which the water flows to the surface naturally
- 3. the degree of compactness of a substance
- 4. a body of water that consists of all the waters (tributaries, lakes, reservoirs ground water etc.) that flows (drains) down towards the river
- 5. a tapering structure hanging like an icicle from the roof of a cave, formed of calcium salts deposited by dripping water
- 6. the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May and in the southern hemisphere from September to November
- 7. climates the temparture and weather on the inner part of a country
- 9. the area in an aquifer, below the water table, in which relatively all pores and fractures are saturated with water
- 11. a container of water
- 16. the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state
- 17. water water that collects on the surface of the ground.
- 19. the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations
- 20. a riverbank that consists of the terrain alongside the bed of a river, creek, or stream
- 22. the draining away of water (or substances carried in it) from the surface of an area of land, a building or structure, etc.
- 24. a deep hole made in the ground through which water can be removed
- 25. the level of the sea's surface, used in reckoning the height of geographical features such as hills and as a barometric standard
