Across
- 5. The upper layer of the earth in which plants grow.
- 7. A slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains or near the poles.
- 9. Deposits of sand and gravel are carried by running water from the melting ice of a glacier and laid down in stratified deposits.
- 11. The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
- 13. The action or process of deflating or being deflated.
- 16. The process of wearing or being worn by prolonged exposure to the atmosphere.
- 17. An unsorted and unstratified accumulation of glacial sediment, deposited directly by glacier ice.
- 18. A depression forms in an outwash plain or other glacial deposit by melting a block of glacier ice that was separated from the retreating glacier and subsequently buried by glacier sedimentation.
- 19. Igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
Down
- 1. The upper layer of the earth in which plants grow
- 2. A rock of unspecified shape and size, transported a significant distance from its origin by a glacier or iceberg and deposited by melting of the ice.
- 3. A generally flat area of land next to a river or stream.
- 4. The total amount of water on a planet.
- 6. Material left behind by a moving glacier. This material is usually soil and rock.
- 8. A long ridge of gravel and another sediment, typically having a winding course, deposited by meltwater from a retreating glacier or ice sheet.
- 10. The geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
- 12. A sharp mountain ridge.
- 14. A plantlike organism typically forms a low crusty, leaflike, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees.
- 15. Form on mountainsides and move downward through valleys.
- 20. Bowl-shaped, depressions that glaciers carve into mountains and valley sidewalls at high elevations.
