Unit 5: Classes of Rocks and Rock Cycle 2022-02-06
Across
- process where the formation of sedimentary rock caused by weathering and erosion due to wind, water, ice, and gravity on Earth
- rocks formed by the accumulation of sediments; most fossils are preserved here
- rocks that are formed under the surface of the Earth that causes chemical changes due to high heat and pressure
- occurs due to the cooling process which allows the liquid material to solidify
- occurs when sedimentary grains are tightly packed together
- rocks formed from the cooling or crystallization of molten rock material
- fragments of material made of sand, shells, and pebbles
Down
- allows a solid to change into a liquid because of heat
- process where the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock caused by heat from the Earth
- allows sediments to be loosened
- the loosened sediments move from on place to another
- occurs when sediments have settled
- molten rock deep within the Earth
- a series of processes that transform the types of rocks in the Earth's crust
- occurs due to the decrease in temperature
- molten rock that has erupted from with Earth to the surface
16 Clues: allows sediments to be loosened • molten rock deep within the Earth • occurs when sediments have settled • occurs due to the decrease in temperature • the loosened sediments move from on place to another • allows a solid to change into a liquid because of heat • fragments of material made of sand, shells, and pebbles • ...
