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