Across
  1. 3. The block of rock above a fault plane that moves relative to the footwall.
  2. 4. A natural process that builds up Earth’s surface, forming new landforms like mountains or deltas.
  3. 6. A landform created when sediments are deposited, such as a delta, dune, or alluvial fan.
  4. 7. When glaciers pick up and carry rocks frozen into their ice as they move.
  5. 10. Ridges of sediment left behind by a moving glacier.
  6. 13. A break or crack in Earth’s crust where movement happens because of stress.
  7. 14. A mountain formed when sections of crust move up or down along a fault.
  8. 16. A stress force that pushes rocks in opposite directions, causing them to slide past one another.
  9. 17. The block of rock located below a fault plane.
  10. 19. The scraping and wearing down of rocks by particles carried by wind, water, or ice.
  11. 20. Mechanical weathering where water freezes in rock cracks, expands, and breaks the rock apart.
  12. 22. A fault caused by compression where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.
  13. 24. The movement of sediment or soil from one place to another by water, wind, ice, or gravity.
  14. 25. A stress force that squeezes rocks together, often causing folding or reverse faulting.
  15. 26. The process of breaking down rock into smaller pieces by wind, water, ice, or chemical reactions.
  16. 27. Physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition.
  17. 28. A map that uses contour lines to show elevation and the shape of the land.
Down
  1. 1. The downhill movement of rock and soil due to gravity, such as landslides or mudflows.
  2. 2. A large, slow-moving mass of ice that erodes and deposits rock as it flows downhill.
  3. 5. A fault where rocks move horizontally past each other because of shearing.
  4. 8. The bending, breaking, or tilting of Earth’s crust caused by stress and plate motion.
  5. 9. A fault caused by tension where the hanging wall moves downward compared to the footwall.
  6. 11. A valley carved by a glacier with steep sides and a flat bottom.
  7. 12. Breaking down of rocks through chemical reactions that change their mineral makeup.
  8. 15. The process where sediments carried by wind, water, or ice settle and build new land.
  9. 18. Rain that contains dissolved acids that chemically weather rock and metal surfaces.
  10. 21. A process that breaks down or removes parts of Earth’s surface (weathering, erosion, earthquakes).
  11. 23. A stress force that pulls rocks apart, causing them to stretch and thin.
