2. Effect - an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation
4. zone - The unsaturated zone is the part of the subsurface between the land surface and the groundwater table.
7. - the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.
10. - the concentration of dissolved salts in water etc., usually expressed in parts per thousand by weight.
11. - rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
14. - water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock.
15. - the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

1. - a body of water or air moving in a definite direction, especially through a surrounding body of water or air in which there is less movement
3. zone - The phreatic zone, or zone of saturation, is the area in an aquifer, below the water table, in which relatively all pores and fractures are saturated with water.
5. - Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers
6. well - a well in which water is under pressure
8. - the process of turning from liquid into vapor.
9. cycle - the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
12. - not allowing fluid to pass through.
13. - allowing liquids or gases to pass through it.
16. Nino - An abnormal climate event that occurs every 2 to 7 years in the Pacific Ocean, causing changes in winds, currents, and weather patterns for one to two years
