Across
  1. 4. liquid precipitation
  2. 6. water that moves along the surface to reach lakes, rivers, and oceans
  3. 7. when precipitation stays in one area for a long period of time; rivers, lakes, oceans, ice caps, glaciers
  4. 8. when liquid becomes a gas because of increased temperature or pressure
  5. 9. when snow and ice change into water vapor without melting into liquid
  6. 11. when water evaporates from the leaves of plants
  7. 12. when water vapor condenses and becomes water droplets large enough to fall to the earth
  8. 13. when water moves quickly into the surface layers of soil
  9. 14. precipitation made from repeated freezing and melting
Down
  1. 1. when water soaks slowly into lower layers of soil and rock
  2. 2. completely frozen precipitation
  3. 3. when gas (water vapor)becomes liquid droplets because of decreased temperature and pressure
  4. 5. partially frozen precipitation
  5. 7. these are formed high in the atmosphere by condensation
  6. 10. water that is found beneath the surface of the earth; examples: aquifers
