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