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