Across
  1. 2. mountains that form from folded rock strata
  2. 3. a natural elevation of the earths surface
  3. 5. shapes and structures of the earths surface
  4. 8. the features of different landforms and elevations of the earths surface in a certain region
  5. 10. mountains set apart by one or more normal faults
  6. 12. the variation in elevation in a specific region
  7. 13. blade like mountainous formations
  8. 14. the highest point on a hill or mountain
  9. 15. having to do with the making of mountains through tectonic processes
  10. 17. solidified magma that forms domed rock islands standing out of a flat plain surrounding them
  11. 21. low areas in the center of the rift where rocks cracked and dropped downward
  12. 22. the heights and location of mountains on land
  13. 24. process where solid particles drop from a moving fluid to the bottom of the fluid and builds up over time
  14. 25. broad regions of mostly undisturbed sedimentary deposits lifted by some tectonic process
  15. 27. long low hills that formed as glaciers dragged over piles of till
  16. 29. form as the landform above an empty magma chamber sinks
  17. 31. a through or downward fold of rock strata
  18. 33. sediments that can be carried by wind glaciers of deposited by volcanoes and build up on land
  19. 34. steep sided piles of till
  20. 35. landform with sedimentary strata that looks like an upside down bowl
  21. 37. gravity flowing water or wind carries away particles
  22. 38. broad flat topped hills remaining from the erosion process
Down
  1. 1. a group of mountain ranges connected over a much larger area
  2. 4. a large portion of rock deep under unsolidified sediment strata broke along a fault and rose
  3. 6. smaller flat topped hills
  4. 7. a deposit of eroded earth materials
  5. 9. a series of mountains peaks in the same geographical area
  6. 11. an arch of rock layers
  7. 16. crushed material formed when a glacier touches the bedrock and breaks out chunks of rock and grinds them into pebbles gravel sand and fine silt
  8. 18. wind deposited hills of sand
  9. 19. extinct volcanoes in ocean basins
  10. 20. the nature of the surrounding land or topography
  11. 23. winding deposits of till that followed melting water streams as they flowed beneath the glacier
  12. 25. tall spires of rock that are all that remains of an eroded plateau
  13. 26. sloped piles of broken rock
  14. 28. a series of steep walled valleys lined with high cliffs rising from faults parallel to the valley
  15. 30. neither rising or falling balanced
  16. 32. mountains carved out by erosion from a plateau
  17. 36. long low ridges of glacial till that form at the front and sides of glaciers
