Amazing Rocks
Across
- 2. when water is doing this state change, it can split rocks
- 3. pieces of broken rock being carried along
- 7. The breaking down (disintegration) or rocks/minerals
- 9. Water is squeezed out from between the pieces of rock and crystals of different salts form. The crystals stick the pieces of rock together
- 12. an opening in the Earth's crust. It allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from below the surface
- 15. Core, hottest layer of the earth
- 16. plate underneath the land
- 17. semi-molten rock underneath the earths crust
- 19. rock type laid down in layers
- 22. remains of dead animals and plants found in rocks
- 23. rock type formed by change through heat and pressure
- 24. The movement of broken rocks or soil from one location to another
- 26. humans live here
- 29. deposited rocks build up in layers, called sediments
- 33. examples are diamond, ruby or emerald
- 34. have rounded edges
- 36. a solid, naturally occurring pure substance
- 37. Igneous rock, large crystal, different colours
- 38. have regular shapes and sharp edges
- 39. happens to rocks in the mantle
Down
- 1. a load of transported rock and sediment settling to the bottom
- 4. thickest layer of the earth
- 5. sedimentary rock, causes a fizzing reaction with lemon juice
- 6. happens to rocks when the solidify
- 8. Sedimentary rock, red,
- 10. Erupted, cooled quickly on the surface
- 11. semi-molten rock above the earths surface
- 13. plate underneath the ocean
- 14. Igneous rock, dark black
- 18. a solid mass of minerals
- 20. Stayed deep underground, cooled slowly
- 21. the main transporter of weathered rock
- 23. metamorphic rock, white with crystals
- 25. Core, made of liquid nickel and iron
- 27. metamorphic rock, black, found in layers
- 28. falls from clouds
- 30. rock typed formed from cooled semi-molten
- 31. The weight of the sediments on top squashes the sediments at the bottom
- 32. plate, large, moving sections of the earths crust
- 35. a sudden shockwave caused by rocks being under stress from the movements of plates at plate boundaries
