Across
  1. 2. piles of wind-blown sand
  2. 4. wind picking up finely ground surface particles
  3. 6. solution, all dissolved minerals in the water
  4. 8. - a rapid downslope movement of earth materials that occurs when a relatively thin block of soil, rock, or debris separated from underlying bedrock
  5. 10. triangular deposit where streams enter a large body of water
  6. 11. - streams flowing under a glacier
  7. 15. glaciers - glaciers that form in valleys
  8. 17. - formed when ice melts and the melted water goes into the hole scooped out by the glacier
  9. 19. wind-blown surface particles rock faces erode them
  10. 23. Water is water that accumulates on the surface as rivers/lakes
  11. 26. - landslides that occur in mountainous areas with thick accumulations of snow
  12. 27. is water absorbed by the land
  13. 28. lifting of smaller particles
  14. 29. - valley glaciers that scoop out deep bowl-like depressions
  15. 30. movements - downslope movement caused by gravity
  16. 31. Capacity is, the ability of a stream to transport material
Down
  1. 1. glaciers - glaciers that cover broad continent-sized areas
  2. 3. structures formed by wind abrasion
  3. 5. Gradient, movement of water down a slope (determined by water)
  4. 7. bodies of water surrounded by land
  5. 9. all particles small enough to be held up by moving water
  6. 12. - glaciers deposit ridges of till
  7. 13. Table, divide between the zone of aeration and zone of saturation
  8. 14. Load, all sediment too large/heavy to be held up by turbulent water
  9. 16. - swiftly moving mixtures of mud and water
  10. 18. - sediment left behind after glaciers pass through, made of unsorted deposits of rock debris and dirt
  11. 20. the bouncing motion of bigger particles
  12. 21. curves in a river or stream
  13. 22. - slow steady downward movement of weathered materials
  14. 24. are permeable barriers of rock and sediment that water flows through
  15. 25. thick pile of wind-blown silt
