Across
  1. 2. A large mostly flat area of land, such as North China Plain or Great Plains in the US
  2. 4. A body of water partially surrounded by land. A bay is usually smaller and less enclosed than a gulf.
  3. 6. Flat, elevated landform that rises above the surrounding area. Example: Tibetan Plateau
  4. 8. Underground hollow space, often found in limestone areas and on rocky coastlines.
  5. 9. A high point of land that narrowly extends into the ocean. For example Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
  6. 10. Narrow passage of water connecting two seas, such as Strait of Gibraltar or Strait of Malacca
  7. 11. A landform that rises at least 300 meters or more above its surrounding area. A mountain range is a chain of mountains that are close together.
  8. 15. A part of land that is almost entirely surrounded by water but is connected to the mainland on one side. For example Korean or Italian Peninsula.
  9. 18. Valley created by the movement of a glacier. When glacier melt, a U-shape valley is left
  10. 19. High and steep rock standing above the sea. It is created by wave erosion.
  11. 21. An opening in Earth's crust that allows molten rock from beneath the crust to reach the surface. For example, Vesuvius or Mount St.Helens
  12. 22. A depression, or dip, in the Earth's surface, shaped like bowls, with sides higher than the bottom.
  13. 23. A long bay that is actually a submerged valley created by a glacier. They exist along the coasts of Norway, New Zealand etc.
Down
  1. 1. A narrow valley with steeply sloped sides that appear similar to the letter "V" from a cross-section. It is created by a river or a stream.
  2. 3. A hill of sand created by wind or water. Usually found in deserts or along the coast.
  3. 5. A chain or group of islands scattered in the ocean. For example Hawaii, Galapagos Islands etc.
  4. 7. A tall, flat-topped, steep-sided tower of rock. It is created through the process of erosion.
  5. 9. Long, man-made strip of water used for irrigation or boat access to a bigger body of water (Panama or Suez Canal)
  6. 12. A narrow strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and separates two bodies of water. For example Isthmus of Panama.
  7. 13. Landform that rises above the surrounding terrain, not as high as a mountain.
  8. 14. A wide and steep hill or mountain with a flat top. Mesa is a Spanish word that means table.
  9. 16. Part of an ocean or sea extending into the land, for example Gulf of Mexico or Persian Gulf
  10. 17. Body of water that is separated from the sea by sandbars, barrier reefs, coral reefs, or other natural barriers.
  11. 20. A body of land surrounded by water, such as Greenland, Madagascar, Iceland etc.
