- 3. For the water cycle to work, water has to get from the Earth's surface back up into the skies so it can rain back down and ruin your parade or water your crops or yard.
- 6. The energy that drives the water cycle
- 8. steam Volcanoes cannot exactly get angry, but as this picture of Mt. St. Helens, USA in 2005 shows, they really do "blow off steam".
- 10. Falls from the sky (rain, snow, hail, etc)

- 13. Streamflow is the water flowing in the creeks, streams, and rivers that you see in the low-lying parts of the landscape.eEvery tree, grass blade, and plant around you is performing a gravity-defying wonder: it is moving water,
- 14. The air is full of water, even if you can't see it.
Down
- 1. When rain falls where you live, much of it disappears from evaporation
- 2. All air contains water molecules in the form of water vapor, which is an invisible gas.
- 4. A spring is a place where water moving underground finds an opening to the land surface and emerges
- 5. Runoff is nothing more than water "running off" the land surface.
- 7. You can't see it, but a large portion of the world's freshwater lies underground.
- 9. Water vapor in the air
- 15. Uptake Every tree, grass blade, and plant around you is performing a gravity-defying wonder: it is moving water,
