Weathering and Erosion
Across
- 3. curve formed when a stream erodes away
- 6. structures built tp provide underoge for small vessels
- 11. acidic rain chemically breaks down materials
- 16. rocks undergo chemical composition due to chemical reaction
- 18. Chemical or mechanical process that breaks down rock on earth surface
- 21. land ridges of sand
- 23. erosion that occurs when a rill channel widens and deepens
- 24. channel that cuts through bedrock
- 25. a ridge of sediments deposited by over flowing water
- 26. become incorrection into a liquid
Down
- 1. triangular deposit that forms where a stream enters a large body of water
- 2. a bank that is nearly vertical
- 4. rivers erode in 4 ways: abrasion, erosion, corrosion, and hydroreaction
- 5. process that just breaks down rocks into smaller pieces
- 7. the change of weather and temperature
- 8. walls of concrete built to protect sand
- 9. the inside of a meander
- 10. deprive beaches down the coast of sand
- 11. windblown particles like sand rub against materials and wear them away
- 12. erosion wind particles picking up sediments away
- 13. water freezesin the rock cracks and crack the rock completely
- 14. chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances
- 15. channel thatcuts through sediments
- 17. a meander that cuts itself off and turns into a lake before drying up
- 19. where plants grow into bedrock forming cracks
- 20. land area drained by a stream system
- 22. removal and transportation of one eroded material to another
