- 3. Streamflow is the water flowing in the creeks, streams, and rivers that you see in the low-lying parts of the landscape.
- 4. Fog contains very tiny liquid water particles, like a cloud,
- 6. Runoff is nothing more than water "running off" the land surface.
- 7. the sun is what makes the water cycle work
- 8. Clouds are made of water, and water has weight, so how can they float? They float because the air below them has weight, too—more weight.
- 12. One of the more recent discoveries in the oceans are "thermal ocean vents", as you see in this picture. You are seeing very hot water pouring out of what looks like a mini-volcano at the bottom of the ocean, many miles below the surface.
- 13. The air outside may look invisible, but it is full of molecules
- 14. Clouds are made of water, and water has weight,
Down
- 1. and snow Ice and glaciers are part of the water cycle, even though the water in them moves very slowly.
- 2. A water molecule contains 2 hydrogen
- 3. melt Just like the flowers waiting for springtime to bloom, this snow is waiting for warmer temperatures so it can melt and get back into contributing water to the ever-moving water cycle.
- 5. The ground stores huge amounts of water and it exists to some degree no matter where on Earth you are.
- 9. A lake is a low area on the ground where water collects and pools.
- 10. animals ls in the grand scheme of the water cycle, animals may not play a very big role, but all animals, including you, participate in moving water around as part of the water cycle.
- 11. Some of the water that falls from the sky soaks into the ground and becomes groundwater,
