The Water Cycle

1. when one watershed is separated from another by a ridge of land
3. a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.
8. the top of the saturated zone
11. rain, snow, sleet, or hail
12. a body of water that is deeper and larger than a pond and sunlight does not reach its bottom
13. the process by which water changes into a gas called water vapor
15. The process where water vapor changes from a gas to liquid water or sweat
16. an area of rock or soil that is totally filled with water
18. materials that have connected pores that allow water to pass through them
19. the continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
21. water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface.
23. the land area that supplies water to river system or a drainage basin
24. an area that is covered with water during part or all of the year

2. a material that water can not pass through
3. the result of water vapor cooling and forming a liquid or a cloud
4. an organism's place where it lives and obtains all the things it needs to survive\
5. the process by which precipitation or water soaks into subsurface soils and moves into rocks through cracks and pore spaces.
6. the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
7. a lake that stores water for human use
9. an underground layer of rack or sediment that holds water
10. water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
14. the streams and smaller rivers that feed into a main river.
17. a wetland where the ground squishes under your feet
20. a body of fresh water that is standing still and sunlight is able to reach its bottom.
22. a type of hot spring from which the water periodically erupts
