Across
  1. 2. boundaries / when plates slide past each other
  2. 7. erosion / movement of weathered rock or soil components from one place to another
  3. 11. / mixture of clay, same, silt, and humus. Rich in nutrients.
  4. 12. tectonics / movement of the lithosphere
  5. 16. crust / can be divided into ocean basins where water depth exceeds 2 miles.
  6. 17. crust / extends from the surface of earth down to 20-30 miles.
  7. 18. / north-south positions on earth
  8. 20. / very find particles between the size of sand and clay. Easily transported by water.
  9. 21. / floats on top of the mantle
  10. 22. / boundary between earths crust and mantle
  11. 23. / occur during movement on existing fault, along tectonic plate boundary or along mid oceanic ridges
  12. 24. of leaching / dissolved and suspended materials moved downward
  13. 25. boundaries / when plates slide away from each other
  14. 27. / tends to be yellowing in color due to iron, aluminum, humic compounds, and clay. Rich in nutrients.
Down
  1. 1. boundaries / when plates slide towards each other
  2. 3. / water flows through too quickly for most crops
  3. 4. / east-west positions on earth
  4. 5. / consists of rock fragments
  5. 6. / formed by cooling and classified by their coloca content
  6. 8. / the solid, outer part of earth
  7. 9. Soil erosion- movement of weathered rock or soil components from one place to another / produce magma and release gases such as carbon dioxide
  8. 10. / very fine. Low permeability to water
  9. 13. / serious of waves created when a body of water is rapidly displaced usually by an earthquake
  10. 14. / formed by piling and cementing of various materials over time in low lying areas. Fossils are only formed in.
  11. 15. parent material / partially broken down inorganic minerals
  12. 19. / formed by intense heat and pressure
  13. 20. litter / leaves and partially decomposed organic debris. May be very thick.
  14. 26. / organic matter, living organisms, inorganic minerals. Very thick on grassland.
