Across
  1. 2. Water from lakes and rivers can also seep into the ground.
  2. 7. The water droplets in clouds join together and cool further until they fall to earth as either rain, snow or hail.
  3. 8. Groundwater close to the surface is taken up by plants.
  4. 9. Water that infiltrates into the earth’s surface fills up the groundwater stores.
  5. 10. Rainfall falling on the land flows downhill across the landscape providing water to lakes, rivers and oceans.
Down
  1. 1. The sun heats water from the oceans and it turns into water vapour. This invisible vapour rises into the atmosphere where it is colder
  2. 3. The water droplets in clouds join together and cool further until they fall to earth as either rain, snow or hail.
  3. 4. Some rainfall soaks into the ground. When the soil is waterlogged, any extra rainfall will runoff into surface storage areas
  4. 5. flow Some groundwater moves through the earth and flows into rivers or oceans keeping the water cycle going
  5. 6. The water vapour cools and turns back into tiny water droplets. These water droplets form clouds
