  1. 1. A narrow passage of water connecting two larger bodies of water (with land on both its sides)
  2. 4. A flat (or gently sloping) elevated area that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side.
  3. 6. A deep, narrow valley with steep sides, often carved by a river over millions of years
  4. 8. A broad, flat area of land elevated above the surrounding area
  5. 9. A low area of land between hills or mountains
  6. 10. A pointed 'end' of land that extends into a body of water
  7. 13. A chain of islands clustered together in a body of water
  8. 14. A very dry region typically receiving less than 10 inches of precipitation annually, characterized by little vegetation and extreme temperature variations
  9. 15. A flat-topped hill or mountain (with steep sides)
  10. 16. A belt of rocks, coral, or sand just above or below the surface of the water, often found in oceans or seas
  11. 17. A large, slow-moving mass of ice formed from compacted snow over time, typically found in mountains or polar regions
  12. 21. A small, rounded hill
  13. 22. A narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas (with water on both its sides)
  14. 24. An elongated sand formation built up by currents (in a river, lake, or ocean), often partially or fully exposed above the water
Down
  1. 2. A smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river or stream
  2. 3. A type of wetland dominated by grasses, usually found in low-lying areas
  3. 5. A low-lying area of land where water from surrounding higher ground collects, often forming a river system
  4. 7. A landform created at the mouth of a river, where it deposits sediment as it flows into a larger body of water (like an ocean or lake), often shaped like a triangle
  5. 9. A mountain or hill, often conical in shape, formed by the eruption of molten rock (lava), ash, and gases from beneath the Earth's surface
  6. 11. A piece of land surrounded by water on three sides but connected to a larger landmass
  7. 12. A vertical (or near-vertical) flow of water from a higher elevation to a lower one (often over a cliff or rock face)
  8. 18. A large, stationary body of water surrounded by land, typically fed by rivers, streams, or precipitation
  9. 19. The tidal mouth of a river where it meets the sea, mixing freshwater with saltwater
  10. 20. a huge bay
  11. 23. A smaller version of a gulf
