6. a single connected piece of ice, regardless of its atomic arrangement
7. measure of how well molecules stick to each other or group together.
8. boundary between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone underground
10. movement and filtering of fluids through porous materials
12. measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance
13. ice that broke off from glaciers or shelf ice and floats in open water.
16. water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface
17. amount of material in the reservoir, divided by either the inflow or the outflow
19. process of reducing heat through a change in air pressure caused by volume expansion
21. process of transforming a dissolved substance into an insoluble solid from a super-saturated solution
23. large floating platform of ice that forms where a glacier or ice sheet flows down to a coastline and onto the ocean surface
24. the measure of dissolved salts in water.
25. attraction of molecules of one kind for molecules of a different kind

1. is a term used to describe the flow of water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, over the land surface
2. process involving the conversion of a liquid into a vapor that is subsequently condensed back to liquid form
3. total amount of water on a planet
4. compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils
5. quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree
9. evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis
11. sequence of conditions through which water passes from vapor in the atmosphere through precipitation upon land or water surfaces and ultimately back into the atmosphere as a result of evaporation and transpiration
14. continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
15. water saturated or strongly impregnated with common salt
18. chemical compounds have the tendency to form ice-like crystals at a slightly less temperature than the room temperature
20. change in the state of matter from the gas phase to the liquid phase
22. chunks of ice break off at the end of a glacier
