Erosion and Deposition
Across
- 3. mass wasting that takes place when material moves slowly in a large mass
- 6. when rocks are pulled to the bottom of a slope by gravity
- 7. the downhill movement of a large mass of rocks or soil because of gravity
- 10. a deposit of sediment that forms where a stream enters a body of water
- 13. forms a u-shape as the glacier moves across the land
- 14. a pile of windblown sand
Down
- 1. a large mass of ice that formed on land and moves slowly across Earth's surface
- 2. a pile of angular rocks and sediment from a rockfall
- 4. a crumbly windblown deposit of silt and clay
- 5. a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment deposited by a glacier
- 7. broad c-shaped curve in a stream
- 8. sharp ridge formed between 2 glaciers
- 9. a mixture of various sizes of sediment deposited by a glacier
- 11. the rapid downhill movement of soil, loose rocks, and boulders
- 12. the grinding away of rock as particles scrape against them
