The Water Cycle
Across
- 4. The gas phase of water that can be produced by evaporation or boiling
- 7. When water soaks into the soil
- 8. When trees or manmade objects get in the way of precipitation reaching the ground surface
- 9. The conversion of a gas to a liquid.
- 10. The movement of water through the rocks
- 14. The downward movement of water from the soil into rock due to gravity
Down
- 1. When water travels through the soil towards a river or the sea
- 2. The formation of rain, snow and hail from water vapour in the air
- 3. The process where plants absorb water vapour in the air through the roots and give off water vapour through the leaves
- 5. Another way of saying that the water vapour is transported through the air
- 6. Precipitation not absorbed by the land
- 11. The animals and plants that use the land
- 12. The upper surface of groundwater below which the pores of the rocks are filled with water
- 13. The process in which water turns from liquid to gas without the temperature reaching boiling point
