Across
- 2. A shallow body of water formed by retreating glaciers when ice chunks break off and melt under the sediment.
- 6. Chunks of ice that break off a glacier into the ocean.
- 11. Formations that hang from the ceiling of caves.
- 13. The process of water carrying soluble substances or small particles through rock or soil.
- 17. A fan shaped deposit at the bottom of a hill deposited by water that doesn't always flow.
- 18. Long smooth canoe shaped hills usually found in groups.
- 19. Rapid movement of rocks downhill.
- 20. Most common form of biological weathering.
- 22. Created when a smaller glacier empties into a large one.
- 23. A bowl-shaped valley on the side of a mountain, often with a glacier in it.
- 25. Formed when the roof of a cave collapses
- 26. Till The dirt and rocks that pushed in front of a glacier
- 27. Large rocks with a different composition than the surrounding land.
Down
- 1. Underground areas hallowed out by water.
- 3. Organic material that forms in soil when plant and animal matter decays.
- 4. In front of a glacier melt-water washes out dirt and creates a braided river.
- 5. When a stalactite and a stalagmite meet.
- 7. Slow movement of soil down a hill.
- 8. The original rock that is underneath an area.
- 9. A thin spike of rock formed by 2 glaciers moving side by side.
- 10. Rapid movement downhill of large portions of land.
- 12. Formations that build up from the floor of a cave.
- 14. A pointed mountain formed by several glaciers.
- 15. Large sheets of ice that move slowly across the land because of gravity.
- 16. All the material that collects at the bottom of a steep hill.
- 21. The pile of till at the end of a glacier that has receded
- 24. All glaciers form these.
