10. usually covered by water and contains many trees and mosses
12. deposit of sediment at the mouth of a river, usually fan-shaped
13. boundary between land and the ocean
14. physical/chemical breakdown of rock/minerals into smaller pieces of aqueous solutions on Earth’s surface
16. formed by gravity pressing fragments of other rocks and minerals together as they settle on land or under the ocean over a long period of time
20. offshore land area parallel to the coastline
21. large sheet of ice or snow that moves slowly over Earth’s surface

2. forms a peak at a high elevation
3. underground layer of rock, sand, or gravel that contains water
4. process by which a sediment or other material falls upon a surface
5. hill of sand created by wind
7. surface feature resulting from collapse of a cave
9. low area between two higher areas, often formed by water
11. created from previously existing rock made by the action of intense heat and pressure
15. large body of water flowing through land on either side
17. forms when melted rock cools and hardens
18. process by which wind, water, ice, gravity, or other natural forces move sediment over Earth’s surface
19. large body of water surrounded by land
