Across
- 2. the slow downhill movement of weathered rock material.
- 6. The size and shape of the land surface features of a region, including its relief.
- 9. Drift The rock material carried and deposited by glaciers.
- 10. Fine-grained sediments of quartz, feldspar, hornblende, mica, and clay deposited by the wind.
- 15. An area along a river that forms from sediments deposited when the river overflows its banks.
- 16. The rapid mass movement of rock down a steep slope or cliff.
- 17. A mound of wind-deposited sand that moves as a result of the action of wind.
- 18. Fan A fan-shaped mass of material deposited by a stream when the slope of land decreases sharply.
