Across
  1. 3. the till deposited at the edges of a glacier forms a ridge
  2. 6. the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another
  3. 8. the flat, wide area of land along a river
  4. 14. wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range
  5. 15. small depression that forms when a chum of ice is left in glacial till
  6. 18. the force that pulls things downward
  7. 19. when the wind meets an obstacle, the result is usually a deposit of windblown sand
  8. 20. a large groove, or channel, in the soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm
  9. 21. an area of wave-washed sediment along a coast
  10. 23. a glacier that covers much of a continent or large island
  11. 24. one result of longshore drift
  12. 26. occurs where the agents of erosion deposit, or lay down, sediment
  13. 27. part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean
  14. 28. a channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope
  15. 29. the mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits directly on the surface
  16. 32. any one of several processes that move sediment downhill
  17. 33. the process of erosion move mater called
  18. 34. as water moves over the land, it carries particles with it
Down
  1. 1. a deposit that hangs like an icicle from the roof of a cave
  2. 2. sediment deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake builds up a landform
  3. 4. meander that has been cut off from the river
  4. 5. the term geologists used for this underground water
  5. 7. a stream or river that flows into a larger river
  6. 9. as waves repeatedly hit the beach, some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current
  7. 10. many times in the past continental glaciers have covered larger parts of earths surface
  8. 11. as a glacier flows over the land,it picks up rocks in this process
  9. 12. a long narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up high in a mountain valley
  10. 13. slow dripping builds up a cone-shaped
  11. 16. the roof of a cave collapses because of the erosion of the underlying limestone, the result is a depression called a sinkhole
  12. 17. as any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land
  13. 22. as runoff travels, it forms tiny grooves in the soil
  14. 25. the process by which wind removes surface materials
  15. 30. sediment that is smaller than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is dropped far from its source in large deposits
  16. 31. looplike bends in the course of a river
