Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
Across
- 5. A raised bar of sand under the ocean, wave erosion deposit
- 6. Main rock affected by chemical weathering
- 9. Type of weathering, also called "mechanical"
- 13. When ice makes cracks in rocks bigger
- 14. Process where pieces of rock are carried away by things like wind or water
- 15. Material deposited after erosion
- 16. Type of weathering, chemistry of the rock changes
- 17. Type of erosion that creates landslides
- 18. A "U" shaped lake formed by erosion and deposition
- 20. Process where sediment is added to a landmass
Down
- 1. Most common wind erosion deposit
- 2. Type of erosion common in dry places
- 3. Larger, heavier sediment particles
- 4. Process where rock is broken into smaller pieces
- 7. Large chunks of rocks deposited by melting glaciers
- 8. Most important erosion agent
- 10. Type of weathering, living things break down the rock
- 11. When sediment falls to the ground
- 12. Rocks heat up and expand during the day and cool down and shrink at night
- 19. Very small and light sediment particles
