Module 1: The Water Cycle
Across
- 3. the form of thermal energy that moves water from the surface to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation
- 5. the process of a liquid changing to a gas at the surface of the liquid
- 8. natural area on Earth's surface such as an ocean, lake, or river, where water is stored
- 9. the process by which atoms line up in an orderly, repeating pattern to form a crystalline solid
- 10. the process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves
- 11. a mass of ice that forms when snow accumulates over many years, and then slowly moves downhill due to gravity
Down
- 1. the process by which a gas changes to a liquid
- 2. the series of natural processes by which water continually moves from the surface, to the atmosphere, and back
- 4. an area of permeable sediment or rock that holds significant amounts of water
- 6. moisture that falls to the surface from clouds
- 7. the force that moves water around on the surface in rivers, glaciers, and runoff
