Across
- 4. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
- 9. An area along a river that forms from sediments deposited when the river overflows it’s banks
- 11. The process in which material is laid down
- 14. the same thing of another weathering
- 15. The natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks
- 16. A glacier the forms in a mountainous area
- 17. The mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces that is caused by natural processes and that does not change the chemical composition of rock material
- 19. The process of which a rock is reduced in size by the scraping action of other rocks driven by water, wind, and gravity.
Down
- 1. A large mass of ice that exists year-round and moves over land
- 2. The sudden movement of rock and soil down a slope
- 3. The flow of mud or rock and soil mixed with a large amount of water
- 5. The chemical reaction in which a material
- 6. Thick sheets of ice that may spread over large areas, like whole continents
- 7. The rock material carried and deposited by glaciers
- 8. The chemical breakdown and decomposition of rocks by natural processes in the environment.
- 10. Collective erm for several mechanical weathering processes induced by stresses created by the freezing of water to ice
- 12. A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream
- 13. precipitation Rain, sleet, or snow, that contains a high concentration of acids.
- 18. Fan-shaped mass of material deposited by a stream, when the slope of the land decreases sharply.
