Across
- 1. The way that water moves between being water vapor to liquid water and then back to water vapor.
- 5. After precipitation falls to Earth’s surface, water will flow down to a collection point. The force of gravity pulls water down.
- 6. The gaseous state of water.
- 7. A form of water that falls to the Earth’s surface when so much water has condensed that the drops become heavier than the surrounding air.
- 8. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid water droplets in the air. This is how clouds are formed.
- 9. The energy source that drives the water cycle.
Down
- 2. The evaporation of water from plants.
- 3. When the sun heats up a collection of water, it turns into vapor or steam as it rises into the air.
- 4. When water falls to the earth as precipitation, it collects in oceans, lakes, icebergs, puddles, rivers and streams.
