Across
- 4. A map that shows the surface features of earth
- 7. A line that connects points of equal elevation on a map
- 9. The difference between the highest and lowest elevations in a given area
- 10. The rock material carried and deposited by glaciers
- 11. An area of the shoreline that is made up of deposited sediments
- 13. sediment from one place to another
- 14. A low ridge of sand deposited along the shore of a lake or sea
- 17. material laid down
- 18. A large mass of ice that exists year round and moves overland
- 19. The rapid mass movement of rock down a steep slope or cliff
- 23. A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream
- 26. The relationship between the measurements on a model, map, or diagram and the actual measurement or distance
- 27. A network of satellites that orbit earth to measure positions on earth's surface
- 29. The slow downhill movement of weathered rock material.
Down
- 1. The water beneath earth's surface
- 2. The flow of a mass of mudd or rock and soil mixed with a large amount of water
- 3. A long ridge of sand or narrow island that lies parallel to shore
- 5. The difference in elevation between one contour line and the next
- 6. An automated system for capturing, storing, retrieving, analyzing, manipulating, and displaying geographic data.
- 8. The sudden movement of rock and soil down a slope
- 12. an area along the river with forms of sediment
- 15. Fine grained sediments of quartz, feldspar, hornblende, mica, and clay deposited by the wind.
- 16. A mound of wind deposited sand that moves as a result of the action of wind
- 20. The process of gathering and analyzing information about an object without physically being in touch with the object
- 21. On a map, a darker, heavier contour line that is usually every fifth line and that indicates a change in elevation
- 22. fan shaped mass of material deposited by a stream when the slope of land decreases sharply
- 24. The size and shape of the land surface features of a region, including its relief
- 25. The boundary between land and a body of water
- 28. A measure of the slant of a line; the ratio of rise over run
