Across
  1. 2. large amount of rock splitting off a landform
  2. 7. formed by sediments eroded from riverbanks
  3. 8. a small river
  4. 11. process of depositing sediments
  5. 12. moving sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity
  6. 13. a stream with many channels that criss-cross
  7. 15. downhill flow of rocks/sediment due to gravity
  8. 16. flat land by a river that tends to flood
  9. 17. patterns of alternating beds
  10. 19. formed by sediments that settle by the inside bank
  11. 20. mudflows on and around a volcano
  12. 21. large amounts of deposited sand
  13. 22. a large body of water that flows into an ocean or lake
  14. 26. the source of a river
  15. 27. soil particles become surrounded by water and slide
  16. 28. mass of soil/rock that slides down mountains
Down
  1. 1. dark traces of old meanders
  2. 3. a curved lake
  3. 4. a weathering caused by freezing water
  4. 5. common to find this in repeating layers
  5. 6. the process of breaking down rocks and minerals
  6. 9. the path that a river or stream follows
  7. 10. also called physical weathering
  8. 11. left behind after the removal of soil
  9. 14. rocks/sediment and water/plants flow down a mountain
  10. 18. important resource with rich deposited sand
  11. 23. "able to change shape without breaking"
  12. 24. S-shaped curves in a river
  13. 25. oxygen/acids are other agents of this weathering
  14. 27. refers to how steep the land is
