shaping the earth
Across
- 2. movement of nutrients from the soil because of rain
- 6. all glaciers form this
- 10. a boal shaped valley on the side of a mountain
- 12. weathering by living things
- 14. appointed mountain formed by several glaciers
- 15. rocks worn down because of friction
- 16. in front of a glacier melt-water washes out dirt and creates a braided river
- 17. frost wedging, water gets into creaks and freezes
- 19. created when a smaller glacier empties into a larger one
Down
- 1. when rain falls it absorbs some co2 this makes the water slightly acidic
- 3. most common type of glaciers
- 4. bedrocks break into flat sheets parallel to the rock surface, caused by the expansion of rock when the pressure of overlying rock is removed by erosion
- 5. or mechanical weathering breaking down of bedrock into smaller pieces without changing what it is
- 7. breaking down of rocks by their chemical formula
- 8. the process of rock pieces being placed in different location after erosion
- 9. they cover a large area and are very thick they cause rocks beneath and sink into the mantle
- 11. process that moves soil and rock to reshape the land
- 13. the process that breaks down rocks
- 18. are large sheets of ice that move slowly across the land because of gravity
- 19. organic matter part of the soil must have to grow
