Across
- 2. it is a place that gets little to no rain. The climate can be either hot or cold and sometimes both.
- 3. a deep, steep-walled, V-shaped valley cut by a river through resistant rock
- 6. form when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe and the softer rock erodes away
- 9. A wide, gently sloping mountain
- 10. formed when magma squeezes between horizontal layers of rock
- 13. formed when magma forces itself across rock layers and hardens
- 15. high, level area that has been built over time from lava seeping out of cracks.
- 16. Tall, cone-shaped mountains that alternate with layers of ash and lava
- 18. huge hole left by the collapse of a volcanic mountain
- 20. They usually have steep, sloping sides and sharp or rounded ridges, and a high point, called a peak or summit.
Down
- 1. forms when an uplift pushes a batholith of smaller body of hardened magma toward the surface
- 4. It is land that is raised that has sloping sides.
- 5. it is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side.
- 7. a steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain
- 8. it consists of an area of land, usually like a smaller prairie, enclosed by higher land such as hills and mountains.
- 11. mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cools inside the crust
- 12. an elongated depression of the Earth's surface. they are most commonly drained by rivers and may occur in a relatively flat plain or between ranges of hills or mountains.
- 14. fountain of water and steam that erupts from the ground when a buildup of pressure is released
- 17. it is a broad area of relatively flat land
- 19. formed when groundwater is heated by a nearby body of magma or hot rock and eventually rises to the surface to collect in a natural pool
