Across 4. the land area that contributes water to a stream 9. a looplike bend in the course of a stream 11. a form of limestone that is deposited by hot springs or as a cave deposit 12. occurs when the discharge of a stream becomes so great that it exceeds the carrying capacity of its channel and overflows its banks 13. a depression produced in a region where soluble rock has been removed by groundwater 14. sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel 16. plants absorb water and release it into the atmosphere through this... 19. an area that has a land surface or topography with numerous depressions called sinkholes 20. the movement of surface water into rock or soil through cracks and pore spaces 23. a natuarally formed underground chamber or series of chambers most commonly produced by solution activity in limestone 25. the volume of open spaces in rock or soil 28. an elevated landform that parallels a stream and acts to confine its waters, except during floodstage 29. the total amount of sediment a stream is able to transport 30. water underground in the zone of saturation 31. the upper level of the saturated zone of groundwater

Down 1. the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channel 2. where all open spaces in sediment and rock are completely filled with water 3. a hot spring or fountain that ejects water at various intervals 5. the sorted material deposited by a stream 6. measure of a material's ability to transmit fluids 7. an opening bored into the zone of saturation 8. a type of well in which the water naturally rises above the level of the water table 10. rock or soil through which groundwater moves easily 12. the flat, lowlying portion of a stream valley subject to periodic flooding 15. an imaginary line that separates the drainage of two streams 17. the course that the water in a stream follows 18. a stream that empties itself into another stream 21. the constant movement of water among the oceans, the atmosphere, geosphere, and the biosphere 22. the slope of a stream over a certain distance 24. the quantity of water in a stream that passes a given point in a period of time 26. a flow of groundwater that emerges naturally at the ground surface 27. an accumulation of sediment formed where a stream enters a lake or an ocean
