Water Cycle

5. the natural energy that forces water from a reservoir to the surface
6. the cycle of processes by which water circulates
8. the draining away of water (or materials carried in it) from the surface of an area of land
11. the process by which plants release water into the atmosphere through their leaves
13. movement of a liquid into another surface or substance
14. the process of turning from liquid into vapor
16. water that collects on the surface of the ground
17. the height above a given level, especially sea level
18. the force that attracts an object (water) toward the center of the Earth
19. the molecules have an ability to move around and slide past each other, a liquid will take on the shape of its container

1. the process of a gas changing into a liquid (opposite of evaporation)
2. an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers and lakes
3. water that falls from the atmosphere to Earth’s surface
4. the part of waterflow that has infiltrated the ground and has moved into other sources like streams or lakes
7. the energy that is contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature. (often heat)
9. the molecules are very spread out, more than liquids and solids, and will collide randomly with each other, it will take the shape of any container, and will escape
10. the object holds its own shape and is hard to compress, the molecules are closely packed and have a high density
12. water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock
15. The natural and human made places where water is found
