18. An open valley in a hilly area.
19. Natural flowing streams of fresh water descending from mountains.
20. They are formed due to the tectonic movements, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and erosion of the surrounding areas caused due to wind, water and ice.

1. A ravine formed by a river in an area with little rainfall.
3. Low-lying, triangle-shaped areas, located at the mouth of rivers.
5. Flat tableland with steep edges.
6. Low-lying areas of land between hills and mountains that are formed due to the actions of glaciers and rivers over millions of years.
8. Water bodies that and are saline in nature and cover over 71% of the earth’s surface and are responsible in controlling the weather and climate of the earth.
9. Mounds or small hills made up of sand that are created due to water flow.
10. Deeply eroded barren land.
13. Deposits of silt, with a little amount of sand and clay. They appear yellowish or brownish in color. Wind action or glacial activities are responsible for formation.
15. The atmospheric air is very dry, and daytime temperature is high.
16. A deep ravine, usually with a river running through it.
17. A narrow gorge or ravine cut by a stream.
