Across
- 1. water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor
- 3. pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus cloud
- 4. conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage
- 8. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops
- 9. when water vapour changes state directly from a gas to a solid
- 10. water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water
- 11. water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants
- 12. lateral unsaturated flow of water in the soil zone
- 13. air containing water vapor rises and cools to form a white fluff
- 14. atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes
Down
- 2. primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth
- 5. process of surface water being absorbed into the ground
- 6. part of streamflow that has infiltrated the ground,has been discharged into a stream channel or springs
- 7. ice pellets, often mixed with rain or snow
