Across
  1. 2. A stream or river that flows into a larger river.
  2. 6. The sediments deposited directly by a glacier.
  3. 8. A landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake.
  4. 11. Any one of several processes by which gravity moves sediment downhill.
  5. 12. A column-like form that grows upward from the floor of a cavern.
  6. 13. A region in which a layer of limestone close to the surface creates deep valleys, caverns, and sinkholes.
  7. 17. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
  8. 18. The flat, wide area of land along a river.
  9. 20. The movement of sediment along a beach.
  10. 22. A meander cut off from a river.
  11. 23. A part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.
  12. 24. A wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and silt.
  13. 27. A long, narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice buildup in a mountain valley.
  14. 28. A channel through which water is continually flowing downhill.
  15. 29. Time in Earth’s history during which glaciers covered large parts of the surface.
  16. 30. Water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers.
  17. 31. A looplike bend in the course of a river.
  18. 32. A ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier.
  19. 33. Water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground.
Down
  1. 1. An icicle-like structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cavern.
  2. 3. A tiny groove in soil made by flowing water.
  3. 4. The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land.
  4. 5. A large channel in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm.
  5. 7. The force that moves objects downhill.
  6. 9. A glacier that covers much of a continent or large island.
  7. 10. A wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
  8. 14. A beach formed by longshore drift that projects like a finger out into the water.
  9. 15. The process by which wind removes surface materials.
  10. 16. Wave-washed sediment along a coast.
  11. 19. The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered particles of rock and soil.
  12. 21. A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in glacial till.
  13. 25. A deposit of wind-blown sand.
  14. 26. Earth materials deposited by erosion.
  15. 30. Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
