Water Cycle
Across
- 7. the star around which the earth orbits
- 8. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
- 9. the quality of being hot; high temperature
- 11. a small pool of liquid, especially of rainwater on the ground
- 13. submerge in a liquid
- 14. the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period
- 18. The vast surface areas of oceans, rivers, and other bodies of water
- 19. a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or in a gas
- 21. a large body of water surrounded by land
- 22. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops
- 25. a substance or matter in a state in which it will expand freely to fill the whole of a container, having no fixed shape and no fixed volume
- 27. when liquid water is turned into vapor and enters the atmosphere as a gas
- 29. a very small drop of a liquid
- 30. a form of precipitation consisting of ice pellets, often mixed with rain or snow
- 31. firm and stable in shape
- 32. the complex, constant movement of water on earth-from the oceans to the air, across the landscape, and through plants and animals-is called the water cycle
- 34. a thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface which obscures or restricts visibility
Down
- 1. water or other liquid diffused in a small quantity as vapor, within a solid, or condensed on a surface
- 2. the movement of water from earth's surface downward in porous rock or soil
- 3. cause a gas or vapor to change into a liquid
- 4. a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil
- 5. a very large expanse of sea, in particular each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geographically
- 6. the process by which water vapor in the atmopshere changes to it's liquid state
- 10. pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds
- 11. the roots of plants absorb water from the ground
- 12. non-stop flow of water through earths hydrosphere
- 15. the movement and distribution of water across the planet determines broad climate patters
- 16. a small, narrow river
- 17. a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another such stream
- 20. Acting in such a way so as to have an effect on something else.
- 23. when the droplet-laden clouds discharge themselves and water falls to earth
- 24. move through a system and return to the starting point
- 26. the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc
- 28. of or at a low or relatively low temperature, especially when compared with the human body
- 30. atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer
- 33. the fall of rain
