Across
  1. 3. isolated boulders left behind by a glacier
  2. 5. = builds up directly underneath the glacier by tiny streams
  3. 7. ridge or hill created from materials left behind by a moving glacier made of soil and rock
  4. 8. Long grooves or scratches in rocks carved by rock fragments being dragged across them by a glacier (erosional)
  5. 10. lakes large block of ice that falls off a glacier and melts, forming a hole then filling with water
  6. 12. A wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and silt. powder-like in texture. Forms good soil.
  7. 13. glaciers A thick sheet of ice covering a mass of land all year round; found in Greenland and Antarctica!
  8. 16. the rapid flow of rock and soil mixed with a large amount of water
  9. 17. a slide of a large mass of dirt and rock down a mountain or cliff
  10. 18. drift the general term for all of the materials carried and deposited by a glacier
  11. 20. a long ridge of sediment, typically having a winding course, deposited by meltwater from a retreating glacier or ice sheet.
  12. 21. removal of fine sediment by wind
  13. 22. a slowly moving mass of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains or near the poles.
  14. 24. jagged ridges that form between two or more cirques that cut into the same mountain
  15. 25. Mounds of wind-deposited sand, common in deserts and along the shores of lakes and oceans.
  16. 26. glaciers Flow downhill through mountains along existing valleys. Move within valley walls
Down
  1. 1. A bowl shaped basin (depression) carved by a glacier (erosional)
  2. 2. Erosion of a solid surface by abrasion caused by the high-speed impact of sand grains carried by wind. Example of abrasion
  3. 4. the rapid mass movement of loose rock down a steep slope or cliff due to gravity.
  4. 6. a pointed mountain peak surrounded by several aretes(pyramid shaped)
  5. 9. = formed at the end of the glacier
  6. 11. material eroded (moved) by a glacier and eventually deposited
  7. 13. process by which a block of a glacier breaks off and falls into the sea to form an iceberg
  8. 14. movement the downhill movement of rock and soil because of gravity. Can happen rapidly or slowly.
  9. 15. pavement A layer of coarse pebbles and gravel created when wind removed the finer material.
  10. 19. the SLOW downhill movement of weathered rock material
  11. 23. The grinding away of rock by other rock particles carried in water, ice, or wind . EX: sandblasting
