Across
  1. 4. A deep, narrow valley with steep sides. Canyons are often formed by rivers cutting through rock over a long time.
  2. 6. A large body of water surrounded by land. It's usually still, and you can go swimming or boating in it.
  3. 8. A very dry and sandy landform with little rainfall. It's often very hot during the day and cold at night.
  4. 10. A huge mass of ice that moves slowly down a mountain or valley. It's like a frozen river of ice.
  5. 13. A place where water flows rapidly over a cliff or rocks, creating a beautiful and often loud cascade of water.
  6. 14. A very tall and rocky landform that reaches high into the sky, sometimes covered in snow at the top.

  4. 5. A flat and elevated landform with steep sides. It's like a big tabletop on the earth's surface.
  5. 7. A mountain with a hole on top called a crater. Sometimes volcanoes can erupt and release hot lava, ash, and steam.
  6. 9. A rounded landform that is smaller than a mountain. It's not as tall but still higher than the surrounding land.
  7. 11. A landform formed at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, with sediment and soil deposited over time.
  8. 12. A long body of water that flows from high areas to lower areas, usually with freshwater. Fish and other animals live in rivers.
