Across
  1. 5. a rock that is made up of broken pieces of minerals and rock fragments
  2. 9. a rock that contains parallel layers of flat and elongated minerals
  3. 10. rock material that forms where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces or dissolved in water as rocks erode
  4. 11. the process in which the weight from layers of sediment forces out fluids and decreases the space between sediment grains
  5. 14. molten rock that erupts on Earth’s surface
  6. 16. the formation of metamorphic rock bodies that are hundreds of square kilometers in size
  7. 20. a process in which magma comes in contact with existing rock, and its thermal energy and gases interact with the surrounding rock to make new metamorphic rock
  8. 21. a sedimentary rock that was formed by organisms or contains the remains of organisms
  9. 22. a type of igneous rock that forms when material that erupts from a volcano cools and crystallizes on Earth’s surface
Down
  1. 1. a permanent change in shape by bending and folding
  2. 2. an igneous rock that forms when lava cools too quickly to form crystals
  3. 3. the series of processes that change one type of rock into another type of rock
  4. 4. a rock formed when minerals crystallize directly from water
  5. 6. a broken piece of a mineral or a rock fragment
  6. 7. a fragment that makes up a rock
  7. 8. molten or liquid rock underground
  8. 12. a metamorphic rock that has mineral grains with a random, interlocking texture
  9. 13. the process in which minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains
  10. 15. the grain size and the way grains fit together in a rock
  11. 17. a natural, solid mixture of minerals or grains
  12. 18. an igneous rock that forms as magma cools underground
  13. 19. any process that affects the structure or composition of a rock in a solid state as a result of changes in temperature, pressure, or the addition of chemical fluids
