Properties of Water
Across
- 3. The slow change of liquid water into gas at the surface, without boiling.
- 4. Water that falls from the atmosphere to Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- 5. Water from precipitation that flows over the ground and collects in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
- 8. The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid; for water, 0°C (32°F).
- 10. A high-energy state of matter where gas particles become charged (ions); found in lightning, stars, and the Sun.
- 13. The process where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
- 14. The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas; for water, 100°C (212°F) at sea level.
Down
- 1. The process where water vapor (gas) cools and changes back into liquid water.
- 2. The process where plants release water vapor into the air through their leaves.
- 6. The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid; for water, 0°C (32°F).
- 7. A state of matter where particles are tightly packed and have a definite shape and volume.
- 9. A state of matter where particles are far apart and move freely; gases have no definite shape or volume.
- 11. A state of matter where particles are close together but can move past each other; liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- 12. The continuous movement of water on Earth through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, and run-off.
