100

Water turning into vapor is this natural part of the water cycle

Evaporation

100

a swirling movement

Circulation

100

The percentage amount of total water on Earth that is ocean water

96% or 97%

100

to spread out

Distribute

100

The closest freshwater source to us here at Weir Middle

The Ohio River

200

Where most evaporation takes place on Earth

The Oceans

200

amount of salt in water

Salinity

200

This is where Ocean water is generally warmer at

Near the Equator

200

slow moving body of ice on land

Glacier

200

All the oceans and tides on earth are this. Definition of this is being together with. 

Connected

300

This is what powers our water cycle

The Sun

300

water that falls to Earth in the form of rain, sleet, hail, or snow

Precipitation

300

Of these two, this is the one with the higher salinity. Pacific Ocean or Mississippi River

Pacific Ocean


300

continuous movement of water

Water Cycle

300

When water condensates on the grass in the morning even when there was no rain, the night before is called..

Dew

400

This step of the water cycle occurs after condensation

Precipitation

400

human made place to collect water

Reservoir

400

Majority of our freshwater on Earth is found here

Glaciers/Ice Caps

400

rising and falling patterns in the ocean

Tides

400

This is what causes tides to rise up and down. It's also what helps apples fall off of trees. 

Gravity

500

Just like a cold glass of water on a summer day, this is what takes place up in the atmosphere

Condensation

500

warming of liquid which changes it to a gas

Evaporation

500

This is a reason why some people may not be able to use freshwater that's near them. Fancy word for rubbish some would say.

Pollution

500

when water vapor cools and turns back into a liquid

Condensation

500
