Hydrologic Cycle

1. Open reservoirs on land where liquid water pools and collects
3. A water body that is transitional between fresh and salt water
7. The Earth sphere containing all life
9. A visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere
11. The process of changing water from solid state to liquid state
12. The state change from ice directly to water vapor
16. The process of water uptake by plants
18. The Earth sphere where cloud formation occurs
19. The Earth sphere that contains all water
20. The largest water storage reservoir
25. The change from water vapor to liquid water accompanied by cooling temperatures
26. Rain, sleet, hail or snow falling from the atmosphere
29. The process of water soaking into the soil surface
30. Flow of water over land
32. A place where groundwater bubbles or flows to the surface through cracks in the ground
33. The movement of groundwater to the surface of the Earth

2. An expansive groundwater reservoir
4. The water found in plants and animals
5. The amount of water held in the atmosphere
6. The gravitational movement of water through the soil and bedrock
8. Rapidly moving surface water that transports water in channels
10. The Earth sphere that includes the crust, mantle and core
13. Conversion of liquid water to water vapor, a process that requires energy from the sun
14. Water that fills the cracks and pores in underground soil and rock layers
15. Water frozen in soil year round
17. The transfer of water from animals through their pores as water vapor
21. The release of water from plants through their stomata
22. The movement of water vapor within the atmosphere
23. Water frozen in large expanses at the poles of Earth
24. Water condensed on plants
27. A water reservoir that is the top most layer of the Earth’s crust
28. Permanently frozen water storage reservoirs usually found at high elevations
31. A low altitude form of condensed water droplets
32. Slow moving water reservoirs, usually filled with vegetation
