Types of Rocks
Across
- 4. sediments are dropped off at a new place.
- 5. to the alteration of rocks due to different factors, like temperature and pressure.
- 7. geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
- 8. when magma or volcanic fragments erupt and solidify on Earth’s surface.
- 9. bonding or sticking together of the sediments and the formation of new rocks.
- 10. breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth’s surface.
Down
- 1. are deeply buried, placing them under pressure because of the weight of overlying layers.
- 2. occurs only in a local area adjacent to large intrusions and along fractures that are in contact with hot fluids.
- 3. when magma crystallizes within the crust and is composed of medium to large grains
- 6. Type of metamorphic rocks that do not have layered appearance.
