Water Cycle

4. The direct change of water vapor (gas) into ice (solid).
5. The release of water vapor from plant leaves into the atmosphere.
6. The combined sum of evaporation from the land surface and transpiration from plants.
9. The process where liquid water from oceans, lakes, and rivers is heated by the sun and turns into gas (water vapor).
13. Water that gathers on Earth in oceans, lakes, rivers, or as ice caps and glaciers.
14. The process where water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.
15. Man-made lake
17. The direct change of water from solid (ice/snow) to gas (vapor) without melting first.
18. Subsurface layer of soil that contains water and is frozen year-round

1. Accumulation of ice, snow, rock and sediment that forms on land and moves slowly downward
2. The process of water on the ground surface entering and soaking into the soil.
3. A vast, continuous body of salt water covering 70% of the Earth's surface
7. Water stored underground within cracks in rocks and in porous surfaces of sediments and sedimentary rocks.
8. Water that falls from clouds back to Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
10. Snow that accumulates and melts seasonally at high elevations
11. Cycle Water cycle
12. Water that flows over the land surface, often from melting snow or rain, into bodies of water.
16. Water formed by melting snow
