Across
- 6. when air contains as much water vapor as it can at a certain temperature
- 8. the process by which water vapor changes into liquid water, usually on a surface
- 11. the continuous process by which water travels through plants and releases as water vapor
- 13. tiny surfaces on which water may condense
- 14. a global water pattern affected by winds, differences in water density, tides, and landmasses
- 16. the repeating sequence of condensation and evaporation of water on Earth, causing clouds and rain and other forms of precipitation
Down
- 1. the amount of dissolved salt in water
- 2. a large-scale ocean current along the coastline
- 3. the temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor and vapor condenses into liquid
- 4. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground
- 5. a large system of rotating ocean currents
- 7. the process by which liquid water changes into water vapor
- 9. a strong local ocean current that moves directly away from shore
- 10. water stored below Earth’s surface
- 12. water stored below Earth’s surface
