Across
- 1. is made from all of the Earth’s water. This water includes water in the air, bodies of water such as rivers, and also ground water.
- 5. body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater
- 6. the change of state from a solid to a gas without becoming aliquid
- 7. the upper surface of underground water (groundwater)
- 8. the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
- 11. the change of state from a gas to a liquid
- 12. to make something completely wet; to fill with water
- 14. movement of water through the surface of land
- 15. (water below the surface) the precipitation that seeps intothe deeper layers of soil and is stored in spaces between or within rocks.This water will slowly flow back into the soil, streams, rivers, and oceans.
- 17. movement of water through the soil itself
- 18. the movement of water between oceans,atmosphere, land, and living things.
- 20. the primary source of energy for all hydrometeorologicalprocesses. Solar energy evaporates water from the water and little fromthe land.
- 21. plants release water vapor from their leaves
Down
- 2. any form of water that falls to the Earth’s surface from theclouds. Rain, snow, sleet, & hail are forms of precipitation.
- 3. the precipitation (water) that falls on the land and flows into streams, rivers, and lakes. When too much rain falls onto the ground, part of it “runs off” downhill due to gravity.
- 4. the process of building urban areas to accommodategrowing populations
- 9. the use of water by various users like homes,agriculture, industries, and environmental needs.
- 10. Pollution: the contamination of water bodies like lakes, oceans,rivers, and aquifers
- 13. the process that carries weathered material to new locations
- 16. Fuels: the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy
- 19. the clearing or thinning of trees by humans
