Water Review
Across
- 1. the winding, looping curve in the course of a river on the soft, flat flood plain
- 5. rise of water from the depths to the surface that brings nutrients up from the bottom of the ocean
- 7. crescent-shaped lakes formed in river valleys as a result of meandering streams
- 8. area subject to flooding during a given number of years according to historical trends
- 10. fountain of water and steam that builds up pressure underground and erupts at regular intervals
Down
- 2. permeable layer of rock or sediment that stores groundwater and allows the flow of groundwater
- 3. ecosystem in which water either covers the soil or is present at or near the surface for at least part of the year
- 4. system of circular ocean currents formed by global wind patterns and forces created by Earth's rotation
- 6. the measure of the number of dissolved salts in seawater
- 9. the triangular shape of sediment formed at a river mouth when the running water of the stream enters the standing water
