Across
- 2. – The breakdown of rock at Earth’s surface
- 4. – Major agent of erosion and transport
- 7. – Ice breaking off a glacier into water
- 10. (load) – Small particles carried within water
- 14. – Underground hollow formed by rock dissolution
- 15. – Dropping of sediment after transport
- 19. – Movement of weathered material from one place to another
- 20. – Fine, wind-blown silt deposits
- 21. till – Unsorted sediment left by glaciers
- 24. – Sandblasting of rock by wind-driven particles
- 25. – Raised riverbank deposits from flooding
- 26. – Compacted snow that becomes glacier ice
- 27. – Minerals dissolved and carried in water
Down
- 1. (weathering) – Physical breaking of rock without changing its composition
- 3. load (action) – Water’s force moving sediment
- 5. – Hills of sand formed by wind
- 6. – Glacier pulling rocks from the ground
- 8. – Amount of empty space in a material
- 9. topography – Landscape formed by dissolving limestone (sinkholes, caves)
- 11. – Wind removing loose particles from the ground
- 12. (weathering) – Breakdown of rock by chemical reactions (changes composition)
- 13. – Movement of water energy in the ocean
- 16. – Ability of a material to let water pass through
- 17. stream – Stream with many interweaving channels
- 18. – Large moving mass of ice
- 19. – Large rocks transported by glaciers
- 22. wasting – Downhill movement of rock/soil due to gravity
- 23. – Movement of air that can carry sediment
