Across
  1. 2. A layer of rock and soil above the water table in which the pores contain air as well as water
  2. 4. the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas
  3. 5. The change of state from a gas to a liquid
  4. 7. an aquifer surrounded by a layer of impermeable rock or clay that impedes water flow
  5. 9. An ecosystem where all water runoff drains into a single body of water
  6. 13. Ability of rock or soil to allow water to flow through it
  7. 16. the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants
  8. 18. water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
  9. 19. the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist)
  10. 20. Deep hole drilled or dug into the ground to reach a reservoir of groundwater
  11. 23. the solid, outer layer of the earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle
  12. 25. an aquifer made of porous rock covered by soil out of which water can easily flow
  13. 26. Water that can be easily seen above Earth's surface
  14. 27. A habitat in which the fresh water of a river meets the salt water of the ocean., lined with marshes and sea grasses that filter water flowing to the ocean and act as a buffer protecting us from coastal storms.
  15. 29. a layer of solid material, such as rock or clay, which does not allow water to pass through.
  16. 30. Consists of all life on Earth and all parts of the Earth in which life exists, including land, water, and the atmosphere.
Down
  1. 1. Geologic material with little or no permeability.Water does not pass through this layer or the rate of movement is extremely slow.
  2. 3. water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
  3. 6. The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
  4. 8. All the water at and near the surface of the earth, 97% of which is in oceans
  5. 10. the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
  6. 11. the volume of open spaces in rock or soil
  7. 12. a highland or ridge that separates one watershed from another
  8. 14. The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth.
  9. 15. A layer of permeable rock or soil in which the cracks & pores are COMPLETELY FILLED with water
  10. 17. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
  11. 21. A stream or river that flows into a larger river
  12. 22. basin the area from which a single stream or river and its tributaries drains all of the water
  13. 24. the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
  14. 28. A body of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater.
