Across
  1. 5. common to find this in repeating layers
  2. 7. large amounts of deposited sand
  3. 11. a large body of water that flows into an ocean or lake
  4. 13. dark traces of old meanders
  5. 16. mudflows on and around a volcano
  6. 19. flat land by a river that tends to flood
  7. 21. formed by sediments that settle by the inside bank
  8. 22. the process of breaking down rocks and minerals
  9. 23. refers to how steep the land is
  10. 24. left behind after the removal of soil
  11. 26. a small river
  12. 28. oxygen/acids are other agents of this weathering
  13. 30. soil particles become surrounded by water and slide
Down

  2. 2. a curved lake
  3. 3. mass of soil/rock that slides down mountains
  4. 4. S-shaped curves in a river
  5. 6. a weathering caused by freezing water
  6. 8. moving sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity
  7. 9. patterns of alternating beds
  8. 10. also called physical weathering
  9. 12. the source of a river
  10. 14. the path that a river or stream follows
  11. 15. process of depositing sediments
  12. 17. a stream with many channels that criss-cross
  13. 18. formed by sediments eroded from riverbanks
  14. 20. downhill flow of rocks/sediment due to gravity
  15. 25. "able to change shape without breaking"
  16. 27. important resource with rich deposited sand
