Across
  1. 1. Any formation where groundwater rises under its own pressure
  2. 9. The amount of open space between soil
  3. 10. The area water first goes through when infiltrating the soil before it gets to the zone of saturation
  4. 11. Hot springs, water turns to steam and erupts
  5. 12. When water collects in rivers, lakes, oceans and other bodies of water or as ice caps and glaciers
  6. 13. Condensed water vapor that falls back to Earth
  7. 14. This forms when the water table intersects the ground surface
  8. 15. When water can not pass through a substance
  9. 16. When plants absorb water through their roots and give off water vapor through their leaves
  10. 18. Precipitation that reaches Earth's surface and flows over land
  11. 20. The process of snow and ice changing into water vapor without first melting into water
Down
  1. 2. The process of a liquid changing into a gas due to an increase in temperature or pressure
  2. 3. This area of a groundwater system fills up first
  3. 4. When over use of the well happens sometimes parts of the groundwater systems start to collapse creating this
  4. 5. The process of a gas changing into a liquid due to a decrease in temperature or pressure
  5. 6. When water can pass through easily
  6. 7. When the Zone of Saturation is fully saturated this is formed on top
  7. 8. This kind of water is found under the surface of the Earth
  8. 17. When water soaks into the soil from the ground level and moves into rocks and the soil
  9. 19. This kind of water is found on the surface in wetlands, streams, and lakes
