Across
- 3. it is the continuous movement of water within the Earth and its atmosphere.; it is a complex system that includes many different processes.
- 8. the process where ice and snow (solid) changes into water vapor (gas), skipping the liquid phase
- 10. when the evaporation of liquid water from plants and trees into the atmosphere
- 14. is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area
- 17. the process where liquid water changes into water vapor
- 20. anything that has mass and takes up space; everything that exists is made up of it
- 23. Movement of water into the ground (soil) from the surface
- 24. the process where water vapor (gas) changes into ice (solid), skipping the liquid phase
- 25. the condition of the Earth’s atmosphere at a given time with respect to air pressure, temperature, motion, and moisture.
Down
- 1. the layer of gases surrounding Earth; its layers include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
- 2. a variable property of weather, such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, or wind
- 4. the behaviour of atoms and molecules have no definite volume or shape; the atoms and molecules move freely and spread apart from one another
- 5. water vapor that has cooled and condensed into liquid water droplets or solid ice crystals which become visible
- 6. Uptake Water taken from the groundwater flow and soil moisture up into the plant
- 7. water stored below Earth’s surface
- 9. the behaviour of atoms and molecules are relatively rigid; definite volume and shape; the atoms and molecules are attached to each other; they can vibrate in place but don’t move around
- 11. is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater; groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil; it can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells
- 12. River, lake, and stream transport of water and transport of ice in glaciers
- 13. the behaviour of atoms and molecules are definite volume but able to change shape by flowing; the atoms and molecules are loosely bonded; they move around but stay close together
- 14. clouds that are piled up from low to high levels and bring rain
- 15. the mixture of gases surrounding Earth which include nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide, and other gases
- 16. is the capacity or ability for doing work; there are many types, such as, potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, and more
- 18. the gaseous state of water; a variable gas that is found in Earth’s atmosphere
- 19. Movement of water past the soil going deep into groundwater; the water moves downward in the soil, toward the water table
- 21. the movement of solid, liquid, and gaseous water through the atmosphere
- 22. water in any state (as in state of matter) that forms in the atmosphere and falls onto/into Earth
