Land and Water
Across
- 6. Tiny droplets of liquid in the air that come together
- 7. Lakes and streams that only make up 0.02% of earths total water
- 9. When water changes from liquid to gas
- 11. When water droplets fall to earth in the form of rain, sleet or snow or hail
- 12. Scientists who study the properties and movement of water on and below the earths surface and in the atmosphere
- 15. When water vapor cools in the atmosphere, and changes from gas to liquid
- 16. High steeply sloped and uplifted areas of rock on the earths surface
- 19. The natural features of the lands surface; there are three major types mountains, plateaus, and plains
- 20. When water molecules escape into the air as gas molecules
- 21. The amount of movement the water particles have
Down
- 1. Water in its 3 states moves from one place on earth to another in a continuous cyle
- 2. The 2.8% of water on earth that is available for humans to use
- 3. Icecaps and rivers of ice that hold 2.15% of Earths total water
- 4. High relatively level areas often next to mountains made up of horizontal layers of rock
- 5. The uppermost layer of the land, which may be dug or plowed and in which plants grow
- 7. Depositing particles of soil and rock which causes the change in the shape or composition of the land
- 8. Mostly contained in oceans, it makes up 97.2%of earths water supply
- 10. Scientists who study landforms
- 13. The 0.62% of water that has been soaked into earth and cannot be seen from space
- 14. Wearing away and moving particles of soil and rock which causes a change in the shape or composition of the land
- 17. Areas of relatively flat land that has been leveled either by erosion or deposition of earth materials
- 18. Representations of objects or events that scientists use to help understand larger phenomena
