Across
- 1. The water goes through this form.
- 2. The movement of water through the atmosphere.[9] Without advection, water that evaporated over the oceans could not precipitate over land.
- 5. The state change directly from solid water (snow or ice) to water vapor by passing the liquid state.
- 9. In other words the water cycle.
- 11. Condensed water vapor that falls to the Earth's surface.
- 13. An event of prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric (below-average precipitation), surface water or ground water.
- 14. The flow of water underground, in the vadose zone and aquifers.
- 15. The variety of ways by which water moves across the land.
- 16. The transformation of water vapor to liquid water droplets in the air, creating clouds and fog.
- 18. The transformation of water from liquid to gas phases as it moves from the ground or bodies of water into the overlying atmosphere.
Down
- 1. The runoff produced by melting snow.
- 3. This refers to changing of water vapor directly to ice.
- 4. The release of water vapor from plants and soil into the air.
- 6. When a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae.
- 7. Human economic activity that alter the water cycle.
- 8. Runoff is responsible for almost all of the transport of this chemical element from land to waterbodies.
- 10. Water flows vertically through the soil and rocks under the influence of gravity.
- 12. The flow of water from the ground surface into the ground. Once infiltrated, the water becomes soil moisture or groundwater.
- 17. The water cycle involves the exchange of this.
