Earth’s Constructive & Destructive Forces Lukas Leidenbor
Across
- 3. a valley that a river flows through;2 wds
- 4. movement of sand across a beach;2 wds
- 6. a sudden violent flood that occurs in a couple hours or even minutes;2 wds
- 8. wave washed sediment along a coast
- 12. when gravity, wind, ice, or wind moves weathered rocks
- 13. a rock or concrete wall that is built outward from a beach to reduce erosion
- 14. the difference between the highest and lowest points in an area
- 16. any of several processes where gravity moves sediment downhill;2 wds
- 19. a meander cut off from a river;2 wds
- 22. the type of weathering where rock is physically broken down into smaller rocks;2 wds
- 23. a loop like curve in a river
- 24. a rush of water that flows back into the ocean through a small opening in the sandbar;2 wds
- 25. a formation from sediment depositing from a river going into a lake or ocean
- 26. when surface materials get eroded
Down
- 1. water that flows over the surface instead of going into the ground
- 2. a line on a topographic map that connect the points of equal elevation;2 wds
- 5. the process that breaks down rocks through chemical changes;2 wds
- 7. the process that happens when water freezes in a rocks crack and expands, splitting the rock;2 wds
- 9. a deposit of wind blown sand;2 wds
- 10. earth material deposited by erosion
- 11. the grinding of rock from rock particles in water, wind, or ice
- 15. when sediment lays down in a new spot
- 17. the difference of elevation from one contour line to the net contour line;2 wds
- 18. a large mass of ice and snow moving on land
- 20. a long ridge formed by deposits of sediment along river channels
- 21. the land area that supplies a river system's water
