Activate Chemistry Kerboodle Book: Chapter 4
Across
- 4. The mixture of gases surrounding the Earth.
- 9. Liquid rock that is above the Earth’s surface.
- 11. A burning reaction, in which a substance reacts quickly with oxygen, and gives out light and heats the surroundings.
- 13. This cycle shows stores of carbon, and summarises how carbon and its compounds enter and leave these stores.
- 14. The process that transfers energy from plants and animals.
- 15. The breaking up or wearing down of rocks by the effects of changing temperature; a type of weathering.
- 17. The rocky outer layer of the Earth.
- 18. This action breaks up all types of rock into smaller pieces, called sediments.
- 20. Pieces of rock that have broken away from their original rock.
- 24. The gradual increase in the Earth’s mean air temperature. (two words)
- 25. Movement of sediments far from their original rock.
- 26. Rock made from sediments.
Down
- 1. Rock made when liquid rock (magma or lava) cools and freezes.
- 2. The breaking up or wearing down of rocks by the action of chemicals such as those in rainwater; a type of weathering.
- 3. The transfer of energy as a wave.
- 5. The breaking of a rock into sediments, and their movement away from the original rock.
- 6. Rock formed by the action of heating and/or pressure on the sedimentary or igneous rock.
- 7. The settling of sediments that have moved away from their original rock.
- 8. The process plants use to make their own food, glucose. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react together to make glucose and oxygen.
- 10. The cutting down or burning of trees in forests.
- 12. The breaking up or wearing down of rocks by the action of living things; a type of weathering.
- 14. This cycle explains how rocks change and are recycled into new rocks over millions of years.
- 16. A long-term change in weather patterns. (two words)
- 19. The absorbing of energy by gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide: "the __________ effect".
- 21. A property of a material meaning that it is difficult to damage.
- 22. Liquid rock that is below the Earth’s surface.
- 23. This kind of material has small gaps that may contain substances in their liquid or gas states.
