Across
- 4. The type of weathering that breaks rock into smaller pieces without changing its chemical composition
- 8. The most powerful agent of erosion
- 9. A chemical reaction where oxygen reacts with iron-rich minerals to produce rust
- 10. A landform created when waves lose energy and deposit sediment along a coastline
- 12. A process where water enters cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and eventually breaks the rock apart
- 13. The process where rocks collide due to moving water or wind, resulting in smooth and rounded surfaces
- 14. The transport of broken-down materials or soil from one location to another
Down
- 1. The primary work of a stream at its headwaters where it erodes the stream bed vertically
- 2. Underground formations that grow from the floor of a cave
- 3. Underground formations that grow from the ceiling of a cave due to mineral deposition
- 5. The type of weathering that changes the actual composition of minerals through chemical reactions
- 6. A weak acid formed when carbon dioxide combines with raindrops, capable of dissolving limestone
- 7. The gradual wearing down and lowering of mountains and landscapes over long periods
- 8. The process that breaks down solid rock into sediments at the place where they are found
- 11. A geological event where acidic groundwater dissolves limestone, causing the ground above to collapse
