Across
  1. 2. Uptake is how much water the plant absorbs and uses.
  2. 8. the soil surface into streams.
  3. 10. solid ice or snow
  4. 11. Runoff is when precipitation travels over the soil surface to the nearest stream channel.
  5. 12. is an example of a groundwater discharge. It is usually formed when the side of a hill, a valley bottom, or other excavation intersects at or below the local water table, below which the substrate is saturated.
  6. 13. is condensation falling onto land in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
  7. 15. the layer of air that surrounds the earth.
  8. 16. store most of the Earth’s water; Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is ocean.
  9. 17. runoff is when snow and ice melt into surface water and moves
  10. 18. it occurs when the vapor turns directly
  11. 19. Discharge the movement of water out of the ground.
Down
  1. 1. occurs when the sun heats up water and it becomes vapor.
  2. 3. occurs when air cools and the vapor collects into the cloud
  3. 4. a mass of tiny droplets of water that condensed from the air.
  4. 5. Vapor Water in a gaseous state.
  5. 6. Storage includes wetlands, lakes, ponds, and large rivers that hold freshwater.
  6. 7. is the downward movement of water from the land surface into the soil or porous rock.
  7. 9. flow is the movement of water in a natural channel such as a river. The amount of water flowing in the stream is affected by the watershed’s surface runoff, springs, and groundwater discharge.
  8. 14. To use a material more than once.
  9. 17. solid water that turns into vapor.
