Thanks in advance.

Answer

Sorry I can’t give the grammatical words for the differences, but here’s some easy examples:“ Come on over! I just live across the street!“ „Flying from Rio to Paris I had to cross the Atlantic; I had to come all the way across this huge Ocean to get here!“ so, I guess cross takes an object, but across is linked to some other words like ‚across something‘ meaning ‚on the other side of.‘ hope this helps.

Answer

I can see over the trees.

The bank is across the street from the supermarket.
