Across
- 3. the ratio of water vapor to “dry air plus water vapor” in a particular volume.
- 6. the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor the air can hold at a certain temperature
- 11. a uniform mixture of two or more substances
- 12. water in the form of droplets that appears on objects, such as grass in the morning or evening
- 15. frozen dew
- 17. includes the water that transpires from plants and evaporates from soil.
- 20. water that falls to the oceans and land, some is absorbed by plants, and runoff forms rivers, streams, and lakes
- 21. form as water vapor condenses into tiny droplets or frozen crystals
- 22. the process by which water leaves the surface of the earth and becomes water vapor
- 25. What gives a plant rigidity and shape
- 26. is similar to a cloud, but it is in contact with the ground
- 27. the change in matter of a substance to a denser phase.
- 28. the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in the mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a given temperature
- 29. the ability of molecules of one substance to adhere to a different substance
Down
- 1. the amount of water in a volume of air
- 2. Water absorbed by plants is lost to the atmosphere
- 4. the forms of water that fall from the sky
- 5. limpness to the plant tissue
- 7. a form of evaporation in which water vaporizes from ice without becoming water first.
- 8. nearly everything will dissolve in it
- 9. The temperature at which water droplets form
- 10. Water molecules stick together because of the hydrogen bonds
- 13. large underground reserves of water
- 14. movement of materials through water
- 16. usually present in the greatest amount; what dissolves the solute
- 18. present in a lesser amount; what gets dissolved by the solvent
- 19. the artificial application of water
- 23. The exchange of water between earth and its atmosphere
- 24. water found in pores, cracks, and openings in soil and rock, which can be extracted through wells
