The Water Cycle
Across
- 4. The smallest particle of a substance that retains its properties and can exist independently.
- 6. The gaseous form of water.
- 7. Water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface in aquifers and underground reservoirs.
- 9. The process by which water is released from plants as water vapor into the atmosphere.
- 10. The process in which water vapor in the air cools down and changes back into liquid droplets, forming clouds.
Down
- 1. Any form of water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- 2. Visible accumulations of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere that are suspended above the Earth's surface.
- 3. The process of water accumulating or being collected in various water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, or oceans.
- 5. The process in which water changes from a liquid to a gas and rises into the atmosphere.
- 8. The flow of water over the land surface, usually as a result of precipitation and not absorbed by the ground.
