Down
- 2. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
- 3. The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land
- 4. the amount of sediment that a river or stream carries
- 5. water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground

- 8. A stream or river that flows into a larger river
- 10. plain the flat, wide area of land along a river
- 12. The grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind
- 13. glacier A long, narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up in a mountain valley
- 17. small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things
- 19. valley a valley with a relatively narrow bottom, formed by a river
- 20. a cascade of water falling from a height, formed when a river or stream flows over a precipice or steep incline
