Water Cycle

3. Movement of water through the soil and rock layers
5. Visible masses of condensed water vapor in the sky
7. Amount of water vapor in the air
8. Droplets of water that form on cool surfaces at night
9. Underground layer of rock or sediment that holds groundwater
10. Part of the Earth that consists of water, including oceans, lakes, and rivers
11. Process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas
13. Process by which water vapor cools and turns back into a liquid
14. Water that flows over the land surface into streams and rivers
17. Frozen dew that forms when the temperature drops below freezing
18. Water stored underground in spaces between rocks and soil
20. Upper surface of groundwater, below which the soil is saturated

1. Water falling from the sky as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
2. Process by which a solid changes directly into a gas, skipping the liquid state
4. Area of land that drains water into a particular river or lake
6. Large natural or artificial lake used for water storage
12. Process by which water seeps into the ground
15. Process by which plants release water vapor through their leaves
