Across
- 3. Large streams of moving water that flow through the oceans.
- 4. A change in the ocean water level that typically reaches a high and low twice a day.
- 6. Molecules on the surface of water that causes tightness, almost giving the water a 'skin'.
- 9. Warm waters and influenced by monsoon winds.
- 10. Contains no light and becomes darker and colder as you descend.
- 14. Located between the Americas and Europe/Africa, trade route
- 15. A warm, swift ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico, flowing along the eastern coast of the United States, and then veering east towards Europe.
- 20. Groundwater that contains dissolved minerals, such as salt/sulfur, giving the water a unique taste, smell, or medicinal properties.
- 21. The largest and deepest ocean, between America and Asia
Down
- 1. Area of shallow seawater that receives the most sunlight, water plants live here
- 2. Occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal ranges.
- 3. Groundwater that flows out at normal temperatures.
- 4. Receives little sunlight; diverse array of marine life adapted to the low-light conditions.
- 5. Occur when the Sun, Earth, & Moon are aligned, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.
- 7. Where water vapor in the atmosphere cools & changes back into liquid water, forming clouds or dew.
- 8. Where water collects and is stored in various places, such as lakes, rivers, oceans.
- 11. Surrounding Antarctica with cold temperatures and strong currents.
- 12. The smallest & shallowest, often covered in ice.
- 13. Water found beneath the Earth's surface, filling the spaces/cracks.
- 16. Groundwater from deep within the Earth rises to the surface, often in volcanic regions, and is heated by the Earth's energy.
- 17. Water droplets in clouds become too heavy, they fall back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
- 18. Where water moves through plants and evaporates from their leaves and stems.
- 19. Where liquid water changes into water vapor due to heat.
