Across
  1. 5. isolated bedforms where there is one dominant wind direction and low sand supply
  2. 7. occurs when there are two wind directions about 90 degrees to each other and limited sand supply
  3. 9. force force causing the curving of the air path due to poles and earth's rotation
  4. 10. Environment deposition by wind processes
  5. 11. upwind side of the dune
  6. 12. winds strong, cool air masses moving down the edges of ice masses or down mountain slopes
  7. 13. Latin, derived from Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds
  8. 15. an area with an accumulation of sand
Down
  1. 1. Effect lusterless matte texture on mineral grains due to impacts
  2. 2. form with one wind direction with more abundance of sand
  3. 3. a series of short, intermittent jumps caused by the wind on sand
  4. 4. surface frosting the selective removal of finer grains from the sediment in a flow
