- 7. The sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere
- 9. Basin A land area where all precipitation collects and flows downhill to a single point
- 11. Shed An area of land that drains or “sheds” water into a specific waterbody
- 13. The vast body of salt water covering over 70% of earths surface
- 15. the process in which a gas like water vapor turns into a liquid
- 17. Flow of water over the ground surface
- 19. The movement of water through the lower soil towards rivers, and groundwater flow
- 21. Relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the earths surface
- 22. The release of water vapor from plants and trees into the air
Down
- 1. The movement of water underground through porous soil, sand, and rock, driven by gravity and pressure differences
- 2. A visible mass of condensed watery vapour floating in the atmosphere
- 3. The process of water on the ground soaking into soil
- 4. Water released from clouds in the form of rain
- 5. The movement of water through the soil itself
- 6. The movement of water through porous soil and rock layers beneath the Earth's surface
- 8. The capacity of a material to allow water to pass through it
- 10. The solid surface of the earth
- 12. A natural steam of fresh water that flows on land or inside caves
- 14. Precipitation that does not reach the soil
- 16. Layer of gases that holds the water vapor
- 18. All plants and trees collectively, typically those in a specific region or area
