Across
- 1. A high point of land that extends into a river, lake, or ocean. This landform shares the name of an article of clothing my hobbits are all wearing. :)
- 4. An isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top. We have one of these landforms within the Bend city limits!
- 7. A large, distinguishable part of a continent. Such as India is distinguishable from Asia.
- 9. A narrow strip of land with sea on either side, forming a link between two larger areas of land.
- 10. An isolated flat-topped hill with steep sides.
- 13. A narrow passage of water connecting two seas or two other large areas of water.
- 14. A group, cluster, or chain of islands.
- 16. A body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight. They form where there is an accumulation of snow over many years, often centuries.
- 17. A flat expanse of land that generally does not change much in elevation, and is primarily treeless.
Down
- 2. An area of flat terrain that is raised sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Often one or more sides have deep hills.
- 3. A barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs.
- 4. A recessed, coastal body of water that directly connects to a larger main body of water, such as an ocean.
- 5. A wet area of land where rivers empty into larger bodies of water. Often sand, silt, or clay builds up into unique features (like islands).
- 6. A landform surrounded by water on most of its border while being connected to a mainland from which it extends. Like the state of Florida.
- 8. A steep cliff.
- 11. An ecosystem made up primarily of grass.
- 12. a ring-shaped coral reef, including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially or completely.
- 15. A deep inlet of the sea almost surrounded by land, with a narrow mouth. A large, famous example is off the coast of Texas and Mexico.
