Across
  1. 1. moving sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity
  2. 8. large amount of rock splitting off a landform
  3. 9. downhill flow of rocks/sediment due to gravity
  4. 11. "able to change shape without breaking"
  5. 12. left behind after the removal of soil
  6. 14. a stream with many channels that criss-cross
  7. 16. the source of a river
  8. 18. process of depositing sediments

  12. 24. refers to how steep the land is
  13. 25. flat land by a river that tends to flood
  14. 26. a weathering caused by freezing water
  15. 27. patterns of alternating beds
  16. 29. formed by sediments that settle by the inside bank
  17. 30. soil particles become surrounded by water and slide
Down
  1. 2. a curved lake
  2. 3. also called physical weathering
  3. 4. important resource with rich deposited sand
  4. 5. formed by sediments eroded from riverbanks
  5. 6. the process of breaking down rocks and minerals
  6. 7. a small river
  7. 10. S-shaped curves in a river
  8. 13. common to find this in repeating layers
  9. 15. dark traces of old meanders
  10. 17. mass of soil/rock that slides down mountains
  11. 21. mudflows on and around a volcano
  12. 23. oxygen/acids are other agents of this weathering
