The Water Cycle

2. The gaseous phase of water.
9. A process by which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism.
10. The discharge of water vapor from the leaves of plants into the atmosphere.
11. The process by which precipitation or water soaks into subsurface soils and moves into rocks through cracks and pore spaces.
12. A thick cloud that forms near the ground.
13. Water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface.

1. Water moves through the environment in a natural process.
3. Liquid water changing to water vapour and rising to the atmosphere.
4. Water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
5. The process of snow and ice changing into water vapor in the air without first melting into water.
6. Tiny drops of water that form on cool surfaces at night, when atmospheric vapor condenses.
7. An amount of vapor or fumes given off.
8. Water vapour changing to liquid and forming clouds.
13. Water falls from clouds in droplets that are bigger than 0.5 mm.
14. A deposit of small white ice crystals formed on the ground or other surfaces when the temperature falls below freezing.
