Across
  1. 4. the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. they arent the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks
  2. 5. the aligning of elongated or platy minerals, like hornblende or mica, perpendicular to the direction of pressure that is applied
  3. 8. the exertion of force on something so that it becomes denser.
  4. 10. to form or cause to form crystals or grains
  5. 12. a hard solid mass formed by the local accumulation of matter, especially within the body or within a mass of sediment.
  6. 13. originates in the crust or by the shedding of mafic minerals as magma rises through the crust
  7. 14. rock consisting of angular fragments cemented together.
  8. 16. process in which magma can force itself through a crack or fault in the rock at the Earth's surface. It pours out over the Earth's surface in a volcanic eruption
  9. 17. a geological secondary formation within sedimentary and volcanic rock
  10. 18. a sheet of rock that formed in a fracture in a pre-existing rock body
Down
  1. 1. a solid where the atoms form a periodic arrangement
  2. 2. Wind and water carry the smaller pieces of igneous rocks into piles
  3. 3. layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines generated in areas where the amount of water lost by evaporation exceeds the total amount of water from rainfall and influx via rivers and streams.
  4. 6. A rock formed by the cooling and crystallization of magma (molten rock) at or below the Earth's surface
  5. 7. particles of rock are laid down in layers.
  6. 8. a coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of rounded fragments within a matrix of finer-grained material.
  7. 9. the binding together of particles or other things by cement.
  8. 11. the shape of the corners on a particle (or clast) of sediment
  9. 14. a very large igneous intrusion extending deep in the earth's crust.
  10. 15. putting it into the refrigerator until it hardens.
