Water Cycle
Across
- 2. A state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape; when water is in this state, it is above the freezing point and the water molecules are not quite as close together as in the solid state
- 3. The movement of air in a particular direction
- 6. The water that plants give off as part of their respiratory process (they "breathe" in carbon dioxide and "breathe" out oxygen-in this process, they also make water)
- 7. Cycle The continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
- 10. Water vapor cools and becomes a liquid
- 15. of Matter The physical forms of matter which include solid, liquid, and gas
- 16. Vapor, Water in it's gas form
- 17. The closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth. Where weather happens.
- 18. Plants soak up water with their _________
- 19. When water in the form of ice, rain, sleet, hail, or snow falls to Earth
Down
- 1. A process at which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state
- 4. The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
- 5. When precipitation hits the ground, it is either absorbed, or it flows over the surface of the Earth
- 8. A state of matter with no definite shape or volume; when water is in this state, it is called "water vapor," and you cannot see it; when water is in its gaseous state, the temperatures are warm; water molecules are farther apart than when in liquid or solid form
- 9. Water that is in the ground
- 11. To move from one object to another or from one place to another
- 12. Parcel, An amount of air that moves as a unit
- 13. Runoff will flow from high to low elevations and will collect in rivers, lakes, and the ocean
- 14. A measure of how hot or cold something is
- 15. A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume; when water is in this state, it is because it's temperature is below the freezing point and the water molecules are close together
- 20. The ability to make things move or change
