Erosion & Deposition by Water (8-4)
Across
- 8. A fan-shaped mass of material deposited by a stream when the slope of the land decreases sharply
- 11. The place where land and a body of water meet
- 16. The process by which eroded material is dropped
- 17. When water travels almost parallel to the shoreline very near shore
- 18. Forms when waves erode and undercut rocks to make steep slopes
- 20. A crescent-shaped lake that forms after a flood when a new channel bypasses a meander
- 21. An area of shoreline that is made up of material deposited by waves and currents
- 22. The measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance
Down
- 1. Water located within the rocks below Earth's surface
- 2. Tiny grains of broken-down rock
- 3. Curves and bends that form a twisting, looping pattern in a stream channel
- 4. The streamlike movements of water in oceans
- 5. A long, narrow island, usually made of sand, that forms parallel to the shoreline a short distance offshore
- 6. The amount of water that a stream carries in a given amount of time
- 7. The process by which sediment and other materials are moved from one place to another
- 9. A circular depression caused when the roof of a cave collapses
- 10. The path that stream follows as water erodes soil and rock
- 12. Materials carried by a stream
- 13. An underwater or exposed ridge of sand, gravel, or shell material
- 14. A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream
- 15. The first part of the shoreline that waves meet
- 19. An area along a river that forms from sediments deposited when the river overflows its banks
