  9. 22. the point where a river enters the sea or a lake.
  10. 24. a bend in the river channel.
  11. 27. molten rock formed deep underground.
  12. 29. a small river that joins a larger river.
  13. 30. a type of rock formed by the deposition of sediment, e.g. sandstone.
  14. 31. what land is used for, e.g. farming or industry.
  15. 35. when one type of rock changes into another type of rock.
  16. 36. the point where two rivers join.
  17. 37. limestone blocks.
  18. 38. steep, often vertical rock face.
Down
  1. 1. the movement of sediment (e.g. sand and pebbles) along the beach in the direction of the wind.
  2. 2. the movement of rocks from an area of erosion to an area of deposition.
  3. 3. the breakdown of rocks at or close to Earth’s surface.
  4. 4. the outer edge of a drainage basin.
  5. 5. flat land next to a river that floods when the river bursts its banks.
  6. 9. flat land not much higher than sea level.
  7. 10. where water continually freezes in the cracks of rock, making them bigger, and eventually breaks the rock apart.

  10. 16. a broad flooded valley where a river joins the sea.

  12. 18. a type of rock that has undergone change due to intense heat and/or pressure, e.g. slate.
  13. 20. a beach that joins an island to the mainland.
