Water cycle
Across
- 3. large body of water surrounded by land.
- 4. liquefied by heat.
- 6. water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
- 10. water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces
- 15. an underground boundary between the soil surface and the area where groundwater saturates spaces between sediments and cracks in the rock
- 17. the gaseous phase of water
- 18. laying down of sediment carried by the wind, flowing water, the sea, or ice.
- 19. the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
- 20. phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid
- 21. temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor
Down
- 1. release of vapor by leaves
- 2. as much water or moisture as can be absorbed
- 5. the concentration of water vapor present in the air
- 7. water stored in the soil and is affected by precipitation, temperature, and soil characteristics
- 8. body of salt water that covers approximately 70.8% of the surface of Earth
- 9. action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
- 11. the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when it can no longer infiltrate in the soil
- 12. type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
- 13. the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state
- 14. visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.
- 16. layer of gas or layers of gases that envelope a planet
