What’s inside

Unscramble each word using the clue about the water cycle and its processes.

  1. The continuous movement of water between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. (10 letters)
  2. The process in which liquid water changes into water vapor. (11 letters)
  3. The process in which water vapor cools and changes into tiny liquid water droplets. (12 letters)
  4. Water that falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. (13 letters)
  5. The gathering of water in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water. (10 letters)
  6. The release of water vapor from plant leaves into the air. (13 letters)
  7. Water that flows over the land into streams, rivers, lakes, or oceans. (6 letters)
  8. The process in which water soaks into the ground. (12 letters)
  9. Water stored beneath Earth's surface in soil and rock spaces. (11 letters)
  10. The invisible gaseous form of water in the atmosphere. (10 letters)
  11. Collections of tiny water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. (6 letters)
  12. Energy from the Sun that helps water evaporate. (8 letters)
  13. Energy that causes liquid water to change into water vapor. (4 letters)
  14. The layer of gases surrounding Earth where clouds form. (10 letters)
  15. A large body of salt water that supplies much of the water vapor through evaporation. (5 letters)
  16. A body of water surrounded by land where water can collect. (4 letters)
  17. A flowing body of water that carries water toward lakes or oceans. (5 letters)
  18. Tiny drops of liquid water that can form clouds. (8 letters)
  19. A representation used to explain or show how something works. (5 letters)
  20. A drawing that uses labels and arrows to explain the water cycle. (7 letters)
  21. Symbols in a water cycle model that show the direction of movement. (6 letters)
  22. A series of actions or changes that happen during the water cycle. (7 letters)
  23. The water cycle helps maintain the supply of water in Earth's environment. (7 letters)
  24. Water found in rivers, lakes, and many underground sources that has little dissolved salt. (10 letters)
  25. The surroundings where living things depend on water for survival. (11 letters)
Answer key
  1. The continuous movement of water between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. → WATERCYCLE
  2. The process in which liquid water changes into water vapor. → EVAPORATION
  3. The process in which water vapor cools and changes into tiny liquid water droplets. → CONDENSATION
  4. Water that falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. → PRECIPITATION
  5. The gathering of water in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water. → COLLECTION
  6. The release of water vapor from plant leaves into the air. → TRANSPIRATION
  7. Water that flows over the land into streams, rivers, lakes, or oceans. → RUNOFF
  8. The process in which water soaks into the ground. → INFILTRATION
  9. Water stored beneath Earth's surface in soil and rock spaces. → GROUNDWATER
  10. The invisible gaseous form of water in the atmosphere. → WATERVAPOR
  11. Collections of tiny water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. → CLOUDS
