Weathering/Erosion/Deposition Review
Across
- 3. valley created by rivers
- 5. a river that is s-shaped
- 8. valley created by glaciers
- 10. dropping of sediments
- 12. process that forms caves
- 13. breaking down of rock into smaller pieces
- 14. any process that breaks something down, decreases in size
- 19. physical weathering that occurs when an object hits or is dragged against another object
- 21. breaking of rock that results from a change in the chemical composition of the rock (2 words, no spaces)
- 22. erosional feature formed by wind, a toall thin spire of rock in an arid climate
- 23. Fire Island is an example, formed be deposition by waves (2 words, not spaces between words)
Down
- 1. deposition by waves
- 2. area on either side of a river that floods periodically
- 4. movement of sediments
- 6. depositional feature of wind
- 7. any process that builds something up, increase in size
- 9. physical weathering caused by plants (2 words, no spaces)
- 11. elongated mountain (ridge0, depositional feature of glacier
- 14. deposition formed by running water
- 15. large rock moved by a glacier
- 16. breaking of rock that does not involve changing the chemical composition of the rock
- 17. lake formed by glaciers (2 words, no spaces between words)
- 18. physical weathering due to freezing and thawing of water (2 words, no spaces)
- 20. rain with a pH lower than normal rain, can cause chemical weathering
