- 4. The system that includes the Earth's crust, mantle, and core
- 9. Describes a change where energy is taken away - deposition, freezing, condensation
- 11. When water falls on the crust and goes into the Earth
- 13. Process in plants that takes water from the atmosphere into the biosphere and uses it to create energy.
- 17. Ways that matter or energy is moved through a cycle
- 18. Describes a change where energy is added - melting, sublimation, or evaporation.
- 19. Reservoir that stores the majority of water on Earth as salt water.
- 20. The type of matter with the highest kinetic energy; particles fly freely.
- 23. Reservoir that stores 2% of water on Earth as solid water
- 24. Places where matter or energy is stored in a cycle
- 27. Process that forms clouds.

Down
- 1. Solid state of water
- 2. Going directly from water vapor to solid, like frost.
- 3. Change in size, shape or state.
- 5. Series of repeating events that move energy and/or matter through a system - no beginning or end
- 6. Type of change that creates a new substance, a reaction occurs.
- 7. Evaporation of water from animals.
- 8. The system that protects the Earth; a layer of gases like a blanket.
- 10. The energy that drives all the water cycle.
- 12. Drives the cycles.
- 13. Rain, hail, snow, sleet.
- 14. One of the processes that moves water from the biosphere to the atmosphere; evaporation from plants.
- 15. Going directly from solid to gas
- 16. All the water on the planet.
- 21. The type of matter with the lowest kinetic energy; particles just vibrate in place.
- 22. Water that falls on land and moves to reservoirs.
- 23. Water that has infiltrated the crust and is stored there.
