Across
- 3. A a geomorphological feature, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sand, gravel and till that accumulates in a depression on a retreating glacier, and is then deposited on the land surface with further melting of the glacier
- 4. A process whereby portions of a glacier's leading edge break off as icebergs into an adjacent body of water
- 8. Chemical reaction of water with other substances
- 10. Breakup of rock due to exposure to processes that occur at earth's surface.
- 12. Bends or curves in a river channel
- 13. A stream valley that has been glaciated, usually to a typical catenary, or U-shaped, cross section
- 15. A U-shaped body of water that forms when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water
- 19. Downslope transportation of large masses of earth by gravity
- 21. A depression in the ground formed by a chunk of the glacier that melted after being buried with sediments
- 23. Peeling of surface layers from exposed bed rock
- 24. Soil layer with physical and chemical properties different than other layers
- 26. A long narrow winding ridge consisting of stratified sand and gravel
- 27. The process by which sediments are placed onto a surface
- 28. A freshwater stream that feeds into a larger stream or river
- 29. An ridge of unsorted sediments deposited by a glacier
Down
- 1. Top of soil, contains organic materials
- 2. A period of long-term reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers
- 5. Weathering away rock material by grinding
- 6. A ridge of unsorted sediments deposited by a glacier
- 7. Area of land drained by a river
- 9. The area around a stream that could drain into the stream
- 11. A thick cover of ice over an area, sloping in all directions from the center
- 14. An amphitheater valley formed by glacial erosion
- 16. Sand and silt deposited along the front of a glacier by the meltwater streams of a glacier
- 17. The area along the banks of a meandering river that are prone to flooding at various times
- 18. Rain water contains unusually high amounts of acid
- 20. A large mass of ice found at high elevations or high latitudes
- 22. Removal and transportation of materials by natural agents
- 25. Chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances
- 27. A teardrop-shaped deposit of sediments re-shaped by a glacier pointing in the direction of glacial movement
