Across
- 3. the largest particles that a river can transport
- 5. a depositional feature that forms where a stream enters a lake or ocean
- 6. the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
- 10. ultimate base level of a stream
- 11. an area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean
- 13. well a well in which water is under pressure
- 14. a place where water moving underground finds an opening to the land surface and emerges
- 17. an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding.
- 19. the product of the velocity, width, and depth of the water flowing through the channel of a stream
- 21. the quality or degree of having minute spaces or holes through which liquid or air may pass.

Down
- 1. permeable rock layers or sediments that transmit groundwater freely
- 2. the ground above the water table
- 4. the ground below the water table
- 7. the vertical drop of a stream channel over a certain distance
- 8. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground
- 9. kind of rock usually underling Karst landscape
- 11. a branch of a river that does not return to the main stream after leaving it
- 12. lowest point to which a stream can erode its channel
- 15. process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil
- 16. the remains of the bend in the river
- 18. a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, forming a reservoir used to generate electricity or as a water supply.
- 20. breaking down of rock
- 22. when water flows in a curvy, bendy path, like a snake
