Across
  1. 4. the movement of water between the atmosphere, land and oceans
  2. 6. the force of the river against the banks. Air becomes compressed within cracks and crevices, which weakens the banks.
  3. 7. large rocks are rolled along the riverbed at times of high energy, eg when the river level is high.
  4. 8. rocks carried by the river collide. They break up into smaller, smoother pieces.
  5. 9. smaller material that is light enough to be continuously carried along.
Down
  1. 1. rocks carried by the river scrape along the bed and banks. This loosens material, which is then carried away by the water in the river.
  2. 2. very small material that is dissolved and can be transported even during times of low energy.
  3. 3. Soluble particles are dissolved by the river.
  4. 5. the water picks up rocks and pebbles. They are too heavy to be carried far and so they appear to bounce along the riverbed.
