The Water Cycle - Austin Schrader
Across
- 2. A visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body
- 5. Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity, including drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail
- 7. Rain and snow mixed, snow that partially melts as it falls
- 9. The primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor
- 10. The most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering about 70 percent of the planet
Down
- 1. The star at the center of the Solar System
- 2. The formation of liquid drops of water from water vapor
- 3. Precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that fall from clouds
- 4. A form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice
- 6. Water frozen into a solid state
- 8. A light liquid precipitation consisting of liquid water drops smaller than those of rain - generally smaller than 0.5 mm in diameter
- 11. Liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated—that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity
