Landforms
Across
- 7. by erosion, when water washes smaller and softer types of rocks away from the top of a hill
- 8. formed when tectonic plates collide with each other
- 9. the process in which materials eroded by water, wind, or ice are dropped in a new place.
- 11. Dune a hill of sand that is deposited by the wind
- 12. a large body of moving ice that stays frozen all year (found on land NOT floating in ocean)
- 14. created through the dissolving of limestone
- 16. matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid; dregs
- 18. large flat area formed by weathering & erosion- Water breaks it down, carrying bits of rock and dirt to lower areas.
- 19. a deep and narrow valley created through the movement of water
- 20. the process of breaking down and wearing away rock.
- 21. Valley valley created by flowing water
Down
- 1. Valley valley created by a glacier
- 2. the movement of weathered materials by water, wind, or ice
- 3. wedging weathering of rock by the repeated freezing and thawing of water in the cracks of the rocks
- 4. formed through the erosion of moving water
- 5. a large flat area of land created through the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river
- 6. A natural structure on Earth’s surface
- 10. formed through the build up of cooled lava
- 13. in terms of landforms is a depression or hole in the ground, usually found in formerly glaciated areas, created when a block of buried glacial ice melts, leaving behind a cavity in the sediment
- 15. forms when water seeping through the ceiling of a limestone cave dissolved minerals from the rock, the water drips, minerals collect in that spot
- 17. a low area of land between hills or mountains, typically with a river or stream flowing through it
