Across
- 1. is a steep-sided hill formed of sand, gravel, and till that accumulates in depressions or openings within, on top of, or at the edges of a glacier. They are often remnants of glacial activity.
- 4. the downslope movement of soil and weathered rock resulting from the force of gravity
- 5. A glacier is a large persistent body of ice that moves under its weight and gravity. Glaciers form in areas where snow accumulation exceeds melting and can reshape landscapes through processes like erosion and deposition.
- 8. is a mound or ridge of sand or other loose sediment formed by the wind. Dunes typically have characteristic shapes and are found in desert, coastal, and occasionally, inland environments.
- 9. the slow steady downhill flow of loose weathered earth materials especially soils
- 12. is a fine-grained, loosely compacted deposit of wind-blown silt and clay particles. It is typically formed in regions with abundant glacial flour and where wind activity is prevalent.
- 14. is the mechanical wearing away of rock surfaces by the friction and impact of sediment particles carried by wind, water, or ice
- 15. mass wasting or slope failure where a portion of the Earth's surface moves downhill along a curved surface
- 16. rapid downslope of earth materials that occurs when a relatively thin block of soil rock and debris seperates
- 19. are ridges or mounds of rocks, soil, and debris left behind by a moving glacier. They form when glaciers carry and deposit material as they advance or retreat.
- 20. glaciers are vast ice sheets that cover large portions of continents. They are also referred to as ice sheets and have a significant impact on shaping landscapes and influencing climate.
Down
- 2. rapid downhill movements of snow, ice, and debris
- 3. are rocks that have been shaped and polished by wind-blown sand or abrasive particles, resulting in distinct facets and streamlined shapes.
- 6. is a flat area of land formed by the deposition of sediments carried by meltwater streams from a glacier. These sediments are typically sorted and spread out by the flowing water.
- 7. are elongated hills or mounds of glacial debris shaped like inverted spoons. They form beneath glaciers and are believed to be shaped by the movement of ice and the deposition of sediment.
- 10. are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel deposited by streams flowing within, beneath, or on top of glaciers. They form when sediment is deposited in tunnels or channels within the ice and left behind after the glacier melts away.
- 11. are valleys that flow down valleys or mountain slopes, carving out U-shaped valleys as they move. They are typically found in mountainous regions and are also known as alpine glaciers.
- 13. the process by which wind removes loose particles such as sand and silt from the Earth's surface
- 17. swiftly moving mixtures of mud and water
- 18. are bowl-shaped depressions carved into mountainsides by the erosive action of glaciers. They are typically found at the heads of valleys and are often the starting points for glacier formation.
