3. A well in which water rises because of pressure within the aquifer.
4. The layer of rocks and soil above the water table in which the pores contain air as well as water.
8. The top of the saturated zone, or depth to the groundwater under Earth's surface.
9. An underground layer of rock or sediment that holds water.
10. A characteristic of materials, such as clay and granite, through which water does not easily pass.
12. A land area that is covered with a shallow layer of water during some or all of the year.
14. Characteristic of a material that contains connected air spaces, or pores, that water can seep through easily.

1. The process by which water is lost through a plant's leaves.
2. The area of permeable rock or soil in which the cracks and pores are totally filled with water.
5. An environment that provides the things a specific organism needs to live,grow and reproduce.
6. Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers.
7. The land area that supplies water to a river system.
11. The buildup over time of nutrients in freshwater lakes and ponds that leads to an increase in the growth of algae.
13. The process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas.
15. The continual movement of water among Earth's atmosphere, condensation, and precipitation.
