8. A fan-shaped mass of material deposited by a stream when the slope of the land decreases sharply
11. The place where land and a body of water meet
16. The process by which eroded material is dropped
17. When water travels almost parallel to the shoreline very near shore
18. Forms when waves erode and undercut rocks to make steep slopes
20. A crescent-shaped lake that forms after a flood when a new channel bypasses a meander
21. An area of shoreline that is made up of material deposited by waves and currents
22. The measure of the change in elevation over a certain distance

1. Water located within the rocks below Earth's surface
2. Tiny grains of broken-down rock
3. Curves and bends that form a twisting, looping pattern in a stream channel
4. The streamlike movements of water in oceans
5. A long, narrow island, usually made of sand, that forms parallel to the shoreline a short distance offshore
6. The amount of water that a stream carries in a given amount of time
7. The process by which sediment and other materials are moved from one place to another
9. A circular depression caused when the roof of a cave collapses
10. The path that stream follows as water erodes soil and rock
12. Materials carried by a stream
13. An underwater or exposed ridge of sand, gravel, or shell material
14. A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream
15. The first part of the shoreline that waves meet
19. An area along a river that forms from sediments deposited when the river overflows its banks
