Across
- 2. A landform with sedimentary strata that looks like an upside-down bowl.
- 3. The height of a mountain above its base.
- 6. An arch, or upward fold, of rock layers
- 7. A natural elevation of the earth’s surface, but is defined as lower than a mountain.
- 11. A mountain landform carved out by extensive erosion, usually from a plateau.
- 12. A natural elevation of the earth’s surface rising more or less abruptly to a summit.
- 14. The variation in elevation within a specific region.
- 15. The process of wearing away rock and transporting sediments.
- 16. Describes the balance of the weight of rock, water, and ice with the upward force of the mantle.
- 20. The process in which solid particles drop from a moving fluid to the bottom of the fluid, especially when flow rate decreases.
- 23. A mountain landform produced by tectonic forces moving large blocks of crust relative to each other.
- 24. A series of mountain peaks in the same geographic area.
- 25. A trough or downward fold of rock strata.
Down
- 1. The margin between two tectonic plates that are moving toward each other.
- 4. Low areas in a rift where rocks are cracked and drop downward; a steep-sided ditch or valley.
- 5. The margin between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
- 8. The shapes of the structures on earth’s surface.
- 9. A mountain landform created by folded rock strata.
- 10. The tectonic processes and landforms of mountain building.
- 13. Small particles of eroded material, such as rock, soil, sand, or clay.
- 17. The highest point on a hill or mountain.
- 18. A group of mountain ranges connected over a large area.
- 19. An opening in the crust of the earth through which lava, ash, and gases flow.
- 20. A mountain landform produced by the deposition of volcanic materials or sediments by ice, water, or wind.
- 21. The height of a point on the earth’s surface.
- 22. Features of the earth’s surface in a particular region, including different landforms with varying elevation.
