Water Cycle Puzzle Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• evaporation : the process where liquid water turns into water vapor due to heat
• condensation : the process where water vapor cools and turns back into liquid water drops.
• precipitation : any form of water, like rain, snow, or hail, that falls from clouds to earth's surface.
• transpiration : the release of water vapor from plant leaves into the atmosphere.
• infiltration : the process of water soaking down into the soil from the ground surface.
• runoff : water that flows across the land surface into streams, rivers, or lakes instead of soaking in.
• conduction : the transfer of heat through direct contact between physical particles.
• convection : heat transfer through the fluid movement of liquids or gases caused by density differences.
• radiation : the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.
• thermal energy : the total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance.
• sea breeze : a cool wind blowing from the ocean toward land during the day.
• land breeze : a cool wind blowing from the land toward the ocean at night.
• atmosphere : the layer of gases surrounding earth, held in place by gravity.
• hydrosphere : all the water on earth, including oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, and groundwater.
• geosphere : the solid, rocky part of earth, extending from the crust down to the core.
• biosphere : the global sum of all ecosystems containing living organisms.
• land : due to differential heating, its temperature changes more during the day.
• ocean : due to differential heating, its temperature changes less during the day.
• latent transfer : the transfer of heat through phase changes like evaporation and condensation.
