Across
  1. 3. Process by which sediment is carried away by water (water falls, rivers cutting through canyons)
  2. 5. A landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake
  3. 8. A pebbly or sandy shore
  4. 9. The force of gravity can MOVE enormous amounts of rock and soil.
  5. 10. Uses sunlight to make sugars for energy for the plant; in plant cells only
  6. 11. The grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind
  7. 15. The MOVEMENT of glaciers can shove huge amounts of rock and sediment. Some glaciers during the last ice age were 1 mile thick!
  8. 17. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
  9. 19. erosion The removal of beach materials into the sea or lakes by the action of waves, tides, or wind
  10. 22. of erosion are Gravity, water, wind, and glaciers.
  11. 23. Process that splits rock when water seeps into cracks, then freezes and expands.
  12. 24. A broad inlet of the sea where the land curves inward
  13. 27. "Brain" of the cell, control center; Contains DNA (genetic material)
  14. 29. the sudden movement of rock and soil down a slope
Down
  1. 1. The breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface.
  2. 2. Gives support and protection to plant cells
  3. 4. a slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow
  4. 6. Jelly-like substance the cell organelles float in
  5. 7. The MOVEMENT of small soil or sand particles by the force of wind
  6. 11. A group of islands
  7. 12. "Small organs" of the cell that carry out specific functions
  8. 13. A large, dry area with little amounts of precipitation
  9. 14. A high, steep face of rock or earth
  10. 16. In this type of physical weathering, the roots of a plant (typically a tree) wedge into a crack in a rock and, as the plant growns, splits the rock.
  11. 18. Surrounds the cell and controls what comes in and out of the cell. In both plant and animal cells.
  12. 20. A deep valley with steep sides, often with a stream flowing through it
  13. 21. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
  14. 25. the cell's storage unit. It houses food, water, waste; larger in plant cells
  15. 26. A ring - shaped reef, island, or chain of islands formed of coral
  16. 28. A feature on the Earth's surface that is part of the terrain
