Across
- 6. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
- 8. A meander that has been cut off from the river
- 10. the mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits directly on the surface
- 13. The shape of a valley formed by the erosion of a glacier
- 14. scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion
- 16. The grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind
- 18. The breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface.
- 21. water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
- 22. A long, narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up in a mountain valley
- 23. A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in glacial till
- 24. a cascade of water falling from a height, formed when a river or stream flows over a precipice or steep incline

Down
- 1. a principle that states that the same processes that operate today operated the same way in the past
- 2. a channel through which water is continually flowing downhill
- 3. a valley with a relatively narrow bottom, formed by a river
- 4. the amount of sediment that a river or stream carries
- 5. the flat, wide area of land along a river
- 7. small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things
- 9. A ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier.
- 11. The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land
- 12. A landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake
- 15. A stream or river that flows into a larger river
- 17. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
- 19. A wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range
