  1. 2. A state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape; when water is in this state, it is above the freezing point and the water molecules are not quite as close together as in the solid state
  2. 3. The movement of air in a particular direction
  3. 6. The water that plants give off as part of their respiratory process (they "breathe" in carbon dioxide and "breathe" out oxygen-in this process, they also make water)
  4. 7. Cycle The continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
  5. 10. Water vapor cools and becomes a liquid
  6. 15. of Matter The physical forms of matter which include solid, liquid, and gas
  7. 16. Vapor, Water in it's gas form
  8. 17. The closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth. Where weather happens.
  9. 18. Plants soak up water with their _________
  10. 19. When water in the form of ice, rain, sleet, hail, or snow falls to Earth
Down
  1. 1. A process at which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state
  2. 4. The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
  3. 5. When precipitation hits the ground, it is either absorbed, or it flows over the surface of the Earth
  4. 8. A state of matter with no definite shape or volume; when water is in this state, it is called "water vapor," and you cannot see it; when water is in its gaseous state, the temperatures are warm; water molecules are farther apart than when in liquid or solid form
  5. 9. Water that is in the ground
  6. 11. To move from one object to another or from one place to another
  7. 12. Parcel, An amount of air that moves as a unit
  8. 13. Runoff will flow from high to low elevations and will collect in rivers, lakes, and the ocean
  9. 14. A measure of how hot or cold something is
  10. 15. A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume; when water is in this state, it is because it's temperature is below the freezing point and the water molecules are close together
  11. 20. The ability to make things move or change
