Across
- 1. (water below the surface) the precipitation that seeps intothe deeper layers of soil and is stored in spaces between or within rocks.This water will slowly flow back into the soil, streams, rivers, and oceans.
- 8. the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy
- 9. the movement of water between oceans,atmosphere, land, and living things.
- 11. the process of building urban areas to accommodate population
- 13. the upper surface of underground water (groundwater)
- 16. the contamination of water bodies like lakes, oceans,rivers, and aquifers
- 18. movement of water through the surface of land
- 19. any form of water that falls to the Earth’s surface from theclouds. Rain, snow, sleet, & hail are forms of precipitation. Groundwater: (water below the surface) the precipitation that seeps intothe deeper layers of soil and is stored in spaces between or within rocks.This water will slowly flow back into the soil, streams, rivers, and oceans.
Down
- 2. the clearing or thinning of trees by humans
- 3. the change of state from a solid to a gas without becoming aliquid
- 4. is made from all of the Earth’s water. This water includeswater in the air, bodies of water such as rivers, and also ground water.
- 5. the precipitation (water) that falls on the land and flows intostreams, rivers, and lakes. When too much rain falls onto the ground, partof it “runs off” downhill due to gravity.
- 6. movement of water through the soil its
- 7. the use of water by various users like homes,agriculture, industries, and environmental needs.
- 10. the change of state from a gas to a liquid
- 12. to make something completely wet; to fill with water Evaporation: the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
- 14. the primary source of energy for all hydrometeorologicalprocesses. Solar energy evaporates water from the water and little fromthe land.
- 15. body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater
- 17. the process that carries weathered material to new locations
