Across
- 3. separate from the drainage basin of another by a imaginary line
- 4. basin: land area that contributes water to a river system
- 6. pattern: commonly encountered drainage pattern
- 12. maximum load
- 14. tangled networks
- 16. level: most streams is global sea level
- 18. when streams diverge from a central area likes pokes from the hub of a wheel
- 19. loop-like bend in a stream channel
- 20. the rate of rainfall exceeds earth's ability to absorb
- 23. maximum particle size
- 25. and corner frequency
- 27. velocity: frictional force combined with the buoyant force exactly balance the gravitational force
- 28. gen. term for sediment deposited by streams
Down
- 1. load: fine particles suspended in water
- 2. pattern: a rectangular pattern in which tributary streams are nearly parallel to one another
- 4. load: streams carry dissolved substances
- 5. cycle: unending circulation of H2O
- 7. pattern: exhibits many right angle bends
- 8. flat area about level with top of the channel
- 9. absorbed by plants, which the release it into the atmosphere
- 10. slow flow
- 11. process by which liquid water changer into water vapour
- 13. fast flow
- 15. load: course particles move along streambed
- 17. leaping movement of sand
- 21. quantity of water passing by a point on the steamboat
- 22. place where the ground slopes up/down
- 24. bank:river cliff
- 26. bars:arcuate deposit of sand along the in inside of bend
