Across
  1. 1. The water goes through this form.
  2. 2. The movement of water through the atmosphere.[9] Without advection, water that evaporated over the oceans could not precipitate over land.
  3. 5. The state change directly from solid water (snow or ice) to water vapor by passing the liquid state.
  4. 9. In other words the water cycle.
  5. 11. Condensed water vapor that falls to the Earth's surface.
  6. 13. An event of prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric (below-average precipitation), surface water or ground water.
  7. 14. The flow of water underground, in the vadose zone and aquifers.
  8. 15. The variety of ways by which water moves across the land.
  9. 16. The transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air, creating clouds and fog.
  10. 18. The transformation of water from liquid to gas phases as it moves from the ground or bodies of water into the overlying atmosphere.
Down
  1. 1. The runoff produced by melting snow.
  2. 3. This refers to changing of water vapor directly to ice.
  3. 4. The release of water vapor from plants and soil into the air.
  4. 6. When a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae.
  5. 7. Human economic activity that alter the water cycle.
  6. 8. Runoff is responsible for almost all of the transport of this chemical element from land to waterbodies.
  7. 10. Water flows vertically through the soil and rocks under the influence of gravity.
  8. 12. The flow of water from the ground surface into the ground. Once infiltrated, the water becomes soil moisture or groundwater.
  9. 17. The water cycle involves the exchange of this.
