  2. 5. The continuous movement of water on Earth powered by the sun’s energy
  3. 7. The process of changing water (liquid) into water vapor (gas) by way of heat. -- where do you think that heat comes from?
  4. 9. When water vapor cools and turns back into very small particles of liquid -- so they float and clouds!
Down
  1. 1. The release of excess water through the leaves as water vapor.
  2. 2. water droplets clump together and become heavy, too heavy to stay in the cloud so they fall. Any state of water that falls back to earth is considered precipitation. Types of precipitation include: rain, hail, sleet, or snow.
  3. 4. Water fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces (pores) between rocks and particles of soil. Groundwater accounts for nearly 95 percent of the nation's fresh water resources.
