Water cycle
Across
- 3. in a gaseous form especially when below boiling temperature and spread through the atmosphere
- 4. the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor (gas) in the air without first melting into water
- 9. loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants
- 11. the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization
Down
- 1. the process of turning from liquid into vapor
- 2. is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals
- 5. is excess water that flows into sewer pipes from groundwater and stormwater
- 6. a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water.
- 7. any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth
- 8. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops
- 10. is precipitation that does not soak into the soil but instead moves on the Earth's surface toward streams
