Water Cycle

3. Large streams of moving water that flow through the oceans.
4. A change in the ocean water level that typically reaches a high and low twice a day.
6. Molecules on the surface of water that causes tightness, almost giving the water a 'skin'.
9. Warm waters and influenced by monsoon winds.
10. Contains no light and becomes darker and colder as you descend.
14. Located between the Americas and Europe/Africa, trade route
15. A warm, swift ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico, flowing along the eastern coast of the United States, and then veering east towards Europe.
20. Groundwater that contains dissolved minerals, such as salt/sulfur, giving the water a unique taste, smell, or medicinal properties.
21. The largest and deepest ocean, between America and Asia

1. Area of shallow seawater that receives the most sunlight, water plants live here
2. Occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal ranges.
3. Groundwater that flows out at normal temperatures.
4. Receives little sunlight; diverse array of marine life adapted to the low-light conditions.
5. Occur when the Sun, Earth, & Moon are aligned, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.
7. Where water vapor in the atmosphere cools & changes back into liquid water, forming clouds or dew.
8. Where water collects and is stored in various places, such as lakes, rivers, oceans.
11. Surrounding Antarctica with cold temperatures and strong currents.
12. The smallest & shallowest, often covered in ice.
13. Water found beneath the Earth's surface, filling the spaces/cracks.
16. Groundwater from deep within the Earth rises to the surface, often in volcanic regions, and is heated by the Earth's energy.
17. Water droplets in clouds become too heavy, they fall back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
18. Where water moves through plants and evaporates from their leaves and stems.
19. Where liquid water changes into water vapor due to heat.
