  3. 8. the process of water changing from water vapor to a liquid by loss of heat (e.g., weather - water vapor forming clouds)
  4. 10. the air that surrounds the Earth; it is made of a mixture of gases
  5. 12. go up
Down
  1. 1. water that falls to the Earth’s surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
  2. 3. heat energy
  3. 5. the process of water changing from a liquid to water vapor by adding heat (e.g., weather - water in oceans evaporating into the air)
  4. 6. general pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time [30 years or more (many decades)]
  5. 7. go down
  6. 9. a period of ten years
  7. 11. a huge ball of gases around which the Earth and other planets of the solar system revolve; the Sun is a star that provides Earth with most of its light and thermal energy
