The Water Cycle

2. Water soaking into the soil becoming part of groundwater flow
3. Water vapor condensing on a surface
6. Water vapor changes from gas to ice crystals on a surface
8. When condensation of water vapor happens, these form in the sky
9. Instrument that measures the amount of precipitation
10. A measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air
12. One form of precipitation, this happens when it is below freezing (32° F/0° C)
14. Plants releasing water vapor from their leaves
16. When water falls as precipitation, this is what the water that runs along the surface is called
17. Most of the evaporation that happens on our planet comes from the ______ (it covers most of the planet)
18. Instrument that measures humidity
20. Energy from the sun/driving energy source for the water cycleand wind/weather
21. The condition of the atmosphere only occurs in the Troposphere

1. The continuous process by which water moves through living and nonliving parts of the environment
4. Water changing into water vapor
5. Stage of the water cycle where water vapor changes into water droplets
7. The source of energy that drives the water cycle (it’s what makes the water cycle happen)
11. 95% of atmosphere's mass/where weather occurs
13. water the seeps/infiltrates into the surface and is absorbed into the ground
15. One form of precipitation, this happens when it is above freezing (32° F/0° C)
19. Water in the gaseous form only found in the troposphere
