Clues

  • Acids dissolve types of rock like chalk and limestone (8)
  • Large particles are pushed along the river bed or sea floor by the force of the water (8)
  • Pebble-sized particles are bounced along the river bed or sea floor by the force of the water (9)
  • Rock/sand is thrown against cliffs and grind down surfaces (8)
  • Small particles like silt and clay are carried along by the water (10)
  • The breakdown of rock by changing its chemical composition (8, 10)
  • The breakdown of rocks by living things e.g. plant roots growing into cracks (10, 10)
  • The movement of eroded material (14)
  • Water is forced into cracks which causes the rock to become under pressure and break (9, 6)
  • Waves smash rocks together - they become smoother and break down (9)
