Surface Processeson on Earth- weathering
Across
- 4. when slightly acidic water from precipitation seeps into the ground,it combines with carbon dixodie in the soil.
- 8. soil moved from their original location.
- 10. a mechanical weathering process in which outer rock layers are stripped away.
- 11. the process by which rocks and minerals undergo changesin their compostion.
- 13. devlopes when running water cuts small channels into the side of a slope.
- 14. chemical reaction of oxgyen with other subtances.
- 15. freeze-thaw cycles of water in the cracks of rocks.
Down
- 1. a type of weathering in which rocks and minerals break down into smaller pieces.
- 2. after the rock and soil are transported, somtimes thousands of kilometers away from their soucre they are dropped in another location.
- 3. when a channel becomes deep and wide, rill erosion envolves.
- 5. removal of weathered rock and soil from its original location.
- 6. a layer of soil that differs in color and texture from the layers above or below.
- 7. a cross section of soil you see if you dig into the ground. it shows different layer of soil.
- 9. the process in which materials on or near earth's surface break down and change.
- 12. soil formed in its present location from the bedrock beneath.
