Hydrosphere

6. Materials such as clay and granite that water cannot seep through easily.
8. the largest bodies of water on Earth (contain salt water only)
9. Soil and rock layers above the water table contain some moisture too, but here the pores contain air. They are not saturated.
10. ¾ of our planet is water, so it is called the blue planet.
14. 3% of water found here
15. is the star at the center of the Solar System.
17. Materials that are full of tiny, connected air spaces, that water can seep through.
19. any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravitational pull from clouds.
21. a wetland dominated by grasses
22. any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravitational pull from clouds.
23. when rain falls on the land, some of the water is absorbed into the ground forming pockets of water called groundwater.
24. any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land
25. A body of water of considerable size contained on a body of land

1. an area that drains into a large river
2. An area where the water table is at, near or above the land surface long enough during the year to support adapted plant growth
3. a wetland dominated by trees
4. an area that drains into a smaller river
5. The area of permeable rock or soil that is totally filled with water is called the saturated zone
7. a wetland dominated by peat moss
11. basins are made up of many interconnected watersheds
12. is a structure created in the ground by digging or drilling access
13. is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states.
16. is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor.
18. is drawn up when water rises because of pressure within an aquifer.
20. a large piece of freshwater ice floating in open waters
