  1. 1. water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor
  2. 3. pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus cloud
  3. 4. conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage
  4. 8. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops
  5. 9. when water vapour changes state directly from a gas to a solid
  6. 10. water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water
  7. 11. water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants
  8. 12. lateral unsaturated flow of water in the soil zone
  9. 13. air containing water vapor rises and cools to form a white fluff
  10. 14. atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes
Down
  1. 2. primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth
  2. 5. process of surface water being absorbed into the ground
  3. 6. part of streamflow that has infiltrated the ground,has been discharged into a stream channel or springs
  4. 7. ice pellets, often mixed with rain or snow
