Across
  1. 1. The speed at which water flows in a stream or river
  2. 3. A place where groundwater flows naturally out onto Earth’s surface
  3. 5. A fan-shaped deposit of sediment formed where a stream slows down quickly
  4. 7. An underground layer of rock or sediment that stores and transmits groundwater
  5. 10. The breakdown of rock through chemical reactions, often involving water and acids
  6. 12. A smaller body of flowing water that moves downhill due to gravity
  7. 13. A mineral formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave
  8. 14. A curved bend in a river formed by erosion and deposition
  9. 18. A weak acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, which can dissolve limestone
  10. 20. A sedimentary rock made mostly of calcium carbonate that dissolves easily in weak acid
  11. 22. Pollution that comes from many widespread sources such as runoff from land
  12. 23. Water found underground in the spaces between soil and rock
  13. 25. A smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river or body of water
  14. 26. Pollution that comes from a single, identifiable source such as a pipe or factory
Down
  1. 2. A large estuary on the East Coast of the United States that receives water from many rivers
  2. 3. A mineral formation that grows upward from the floor of a cave
  3. 4. A landscape formed by the chemical weathering of limestone, creating caves and sinkholes
  4. 6. A landform formed where a river deposits sediment as it enters a body of water
  5. 8. A depression in the ground formed when the surface collapses into an underground cavity
  6. 9. A large natural stream of flowing water that is deeper and longer than a stream
  7. 11. The land area where all water drains into a common river, lake, or bay
  8. 15. The process of moving weathered rock and sediment from one place to another
  9. 16. Small pieces of rock or organic material transported by water, wind, or ice
  10. 17. The process by which sediment is dropped and settles out of moving water
  11. 19. An underground hollow formed by the dissolution of rock, often limestone
  12. 21. A partially enclosed body of water where freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the ocean
  13. 24. Water that flows over land and carries pollutants into rivers and streams
