Across
- 2. water that runs off mountains, hills, etc. and falls back into oceans, lakes, and rivers
- 3. how quickly molecules are moving
- 6. physical matter that has mass and takes up space
- 9. the way to measure temperature quantitatively (using numbers)
- 11. the continuous movement of water on, above, or below the Earth's surface
- 15. The total amount of area that the surface of an object occupies
- 16. the measure of how fast the air is moving (unit = miles per hour)
- 17. the state of the air and atmosphere at a specific time and place
- 18. the scale used to measure temperature in the U.S. system (represented using °F)
- 19. water that moves downward into the ground
- 20. the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
- 23. Materials that block the transfer of energy from one source to another
- 24. precipitation that does not get absorbed into the soil and does not evaporate
Down
- 1. when water falls from the clouds in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail
- 4. a tool used to measure temperature in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
- 5. materials that easily transfer energy from one source to another
- 7. the state of the sky when it is covered by clouds(partly cloudy, cloudy or clear)
- 8. the measure of how much heat energy a substance has
- 10. the scale used to measure temperature in the metric system (represented using °C)
- 12. to decrease the amount of heat energy a substance has
- 13. the process whereby adding heat energy changes something from solid to liquid
- 14. the stage in the water cycle when water vapor (gas) cools and turns into water droplets (liquid). The process creates clouds.
- 21. the stage of the water cycle where water (liquid) turns into water vapor (gas)
