Across
- 2. hot water vapor
- 4. Colder air cannot keep the water vapor as a gas as easily as warm air.
- 5. the largest reservoir of water on earth—over 96% of all of Earth's water exists in the oceans.
- 6. drives the water cycle
- 9. Rain,Snow,Hail
- 12. water flows back to the ocean
- 14. this snow is waiting for warmer temperatures so it can melt and get back into contributing water to the ever-moving water cycle.
Down
- 1. How much rainfall infiltrates the ground depends on many things and varies a lot all over the world
- 3. and geysers do release steam into the air, steam which rises and becomes clouds.
- 6. With the water cycle, seepage occurs when precipitation falls on the landscape and starts to soak into the ground
- 7. Because of the way that the hydrogen and oxygen atoms exist in a _____ molecule, one water molecule is attracted to another water molecule. The opposite sides of a water molecule stick to each other just as opposite sides (poles) of magnets do.
- 8. is a place where water moving underground finds an opening to the land surface and emerges, sometimes as just a trickle, maybe only after a rain, and sometimes in a continuous flow.
- 10. it is moving water, against the force of gravity, upwards from the ground into its roots, trunk, branches, and leaves.
- 11. water in the ground
- 13. contains very tiny liquid water particles, like a cloud, and floats, like a cloud.
