Water Shapes the Land
Across
- 3. a lake formed when a river forms a new path by cutting off a meander loop from the rest of the river
- 5. this process forms a loop-like bend in the river
- 6. the process of particles bouncing along stream bottoms
- 7. a hole that results when erosion weakens a layer of limestone, causing portions of the ground to suddenly collapse
- 9. a fan-shaped deposit of sediment, on land formed as a stream flows out of the mountains and onto a plain
- 10. a mass of sediment deposited where a river enters a large body of water.
Down
- 1. an icicle like formation on a cavern ceiling that forms when water drips from the cavern ceiling
- 2. a pillar of minerals in a cavern formed when water drips down to the cavern floor
- 4. the process in which sediment is laid down in new locations
- 8. the flat area along a stream that is entirely covered only during times of floods
