Across
  1. 1. formations on the floor
  2. 3. where a chemical reaction Changes the substances in the rock making them weak or crumble. (Oxidation, acid reactions, Water reactions)
  3. 5. inorganic soil particles finer chalky particles (medium)
  4. 8. mix of all types of soil
  5. 9. Younger mountains formed by recent tectonic movement after the flood. Rockies, Alps Hymalayas.
  6. 11. Mountains older than Noah's flood. More eroded because they were covered With water Appalachians
  7. 12. snow falling down a mountain
  8. 16. a wide valley with steep sides
  9. 20. the breakdown & moving of rock or dirt Partides
  10. 21. inorganic soil particles- fine, smooth, particles that absorb water and get Stickey when wet (smallest particles)
  11. 23. the breakdown of rock by wind water or gravity (erosion)
  12. 24. -inorganic soil particles gritty particles (largest)
  13. 26. valley carved by river erosion
  14. 29. a measure of the percentages of different materials in your soil
  15. 30. an island shaped like a ring made from extinct volcano.
  16. 31. Solid pack ice moving Slowly downhill
  17. 33. eroded material deposited by waves just off the mainland
  18. 34. Sand storms, sand dunes on Shore lines
  19. 37. organic matter in soil.
  20. 38. Soil with very fine particles, it absorbs Water, it stays suspended in Water
  21. 39. a flat area high in altitude Mesa-flat high area with steep sides
  22. 41. a small mesa
Down
  1. 2. movement of large amounts of Soil by falling down a slope
  2. 4. Orangic particles decomposed formerly living things
  3. 6. an underwater volcano that breaks the surface Usually 90-99% of the volcano 15 under water
  4. 7. Cave created by a retreating volcano
  5. 10. Cave carved into a cliff by waves.
  6. 13. Weathering caused by the expansion of freezing water.
  7. 14. a narrow valley with steep walls
  8. 15. intentionally breaking down organic material for Soil.
  9. 17. land formed from deposited silt & sand at the end of a river or Stream
  10. 18. Soil that is made of tiny weathered rock, Shells or coral. Settles to bottom.
  11. 19. the breaking and falling of rock down a slope.
  12. 22. The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by natural means.
  13. 24. Soil with fine particles doesn't absorb Water Settles out of water Slowly
  14. 25. the placement of eroded particles in a new place
  15. 27. the movement of dirt due to gravity down a slope
  16. 28. a mixture of small partides of inorganic and organic matter
  17. 32. formations on the ceiling
  18. 35. weathering by roots of plants Or digging animals.
  19. 36. valley carved out by glaciers.
  20. 40. slide the movement of wet soil down a slope
