Across
- 1. The first step in the water cycle when the liquid water changes into a gas or vapor.
- 4. Instead of water absorbing into the ground, or evaporation, the water simply flows off into a body of water.
- 7. A comparison of the most amount of water vapor the ar can possibly hold at a particular temperature, to the percentage of water vapor in the air at the moment.
- 8. The temperature when condensation starts.
- 9. The parallel movement against the Earth's surface of air pushing from high air pressure areas to low ones.
- 10. How much water vapor is in the air.
- 11. The opposite of evaporation. When the gas state changes into liquid water.
Down
- 2. Thin protective gasses surrounding planet Earth forming the very last layer of Earth.
- 3. Water repeatably moving in the same pattern through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
- 5. The last stage in the water cycle when a form of water (can be rain, snow, hail) is released from the clouds and reaches Earth's surface.
- 6. The elevation or distance from sea level
