Across
- 2. a large mass of ice, formed by snow accumulation on land, that moves slowly across Earth's surface
- 5. rapid, downhill movement of soil, loose rocks, and boulders
- 7. the downhill movement of a large mass of rocks or soil due to gravity
- 8. a broad C shaped curve in a stream
- 11. a crumbly, wind blown deposits of silt and clay
- 14. a pile of wind-blown sand
- 15. a mound or ridge of unsorted sediment deposited by a glacier
- 16. a mixture of various sizes of sediment that has been deposited by a glacier
- 17. a current that flows parallel to the shoreline
Down
- 1. the mechanical and chemical processes that change Earth's surface over time
- 3. the process that changes the composition of rocks and minerals dur to exposure to the environment
- 4. physical processes that naturally break rocks into smaller pieces
- 6. the shape and steepness of the landscape
- 9. the grinding away of rock or other surfaces as particles carried by wind, water, or ice scrape against them
- 10. the laying down or settling of eroded material
- 12. layered sediment deposited by streams of water that flow from a melting glacier
- 13. a pile of angular rocks and sediment from a rockfall
- 14. a large deposit of sediment that forms where a stream enters a large body of water
- 18. the process that combines the element oxygen with other elements or molecules
- 19. the moving of weathered material, or sediment, from one location to another
