Water Systems
Across
- 3. When snow builds up over time and forms into a solid mass of ice and mostly snow it creates ______ that move slowly down mountains due to gravity.
- 5. The area of land where all water is found and will eventually drain into one main body of water.
- 6. The long-term change and shift in weather and temperature patterns that cause places like The Antarctic to have existing ice like glaciers and ice sheets melt or shrink in size, as well as gobal warming across the world.
- 8. The more temperatures rise, the more gas builds up causing heat to be trapped above the earth's surface, this is called _______-_____.
- 13. Half of the earth that is split into the north and south by something called the equator.
- 15. The boundary that is located between upper soil and groundwater.
- 16. Storms that form thunderstorms over the ocean cause the air mass in them to begin spiraling and swirling rapidly at a speed of at least 119 km/h which then categorizes the storm as a ________.
- 17. the end result of precipitation like rain, snow, and just water itself that freezes over and shrinks or expands as temperatures rise and drop.
- 18. Because of Human activities more and more _____ -_____ get released and put into the atmosphere making temperatures rise.
- 19. An area with a small contained climate that is different from the larger climate surrounding it.
- 20. The invisible line around the earth that separates the north and the south hemispheres.
Down
- 1. A material's capability to absorb heat.
- 2. The Condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere that falls in the form of rain, snow, hall, and more under the influence of gravity.
- 4. water that exists in the Atmosphere in the form of gas.
- 7. when ____ rises ice melts and shrinks in size, whereas when the ______ gets colder ice forms and builds up over periods of time.
- 9. The average weather conditions in a location are affected by water bodies on a global scale and can/will impact the size of glaciers and ice sheets.
- 10. The Amount of salt that is dissolved into a body of water.
- 11. The heat that radiates off the sun passes through the __________ before reaching Earth's surface.
- 12. The process in which water changes states as it goes from the Earth's surface up to the Atmosphere, then back down to Earth.
- 14. The reservoir of underground freshwater.
