Across
- 6. The sun heats water from the oceans and it turns into water vapour. This invisible vapour rises into the atmosphere where it is colder
- 7. This term includes all water turned into water vapour through transpiration and evaporation together.
- 8. Water that infiltrates into the earth’s surface fills up the groundwater stores.
- 9. the water droplets in clouds join together and cool further until they fall to earth as either rain, snow or hail.
- 10. The water vapour cools and turns back into tiny water droplets. These water droplets form clouds
Down
- 1. Water stored underground in aquifers. Some of this water goes very deep and stays there for a long time.
- 2. uptake Plants take up water from the ground and use it for photosynthesis. Some of this water is lost through the leaves due to the heat from the sun.
- 3. Some rainfall soaks into the ground. When the soil is waterlogged, any extra rainfall will runoff into surface storage areas
- 4. Groundwater close to the surface is taken up by plants.
- 5. Some groundwater moves to the surface of the land forming a lake, creek or river
