Across
  1. 3. the process of dropping off and building up layers of sediment.
  2. 4. gas to liquid.
  3. 5. hot iron and nickel center of the earth
  4. 6. from a gas to a solid
  5. 8. in animals, the process of burning sugar in oxygen to release energy. Carbon dioxide is produced, as well.
  6. 12. rock a rock that is changed due to heat or pressure
  7. 15. evaporation of water through plants.
  8. 18. when water is absorbed into the ground
  9. 22. someone who studies volcanoes
  10. 23. effect greenhouse gasses absorb heat and trap it in earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses act as a blanket for the earth.
  11. 26. the process of breaking larger rocks into smaller pieces, due to rain, wind or freezing\thawing.
  12. 27. someone who studies the movement of the Earth’s crust – earthquakes.
  13. 29. someone who studies plants
  14. 30. process of hardening compacted sediment into rock.
  15. 31. the areas of the planet that are habitable for life.
  16. 32. plates sections of the earth’s crust.
  17. 34. cells single cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata
  18. 35. the hot interior of the earth.
Down
  1. 1. the movement of small particles that have weathered from larger rocks. Movement is the result of gravity, wind or flowing water.
  2. 2. all of the water on the planet
  3. 4. someone who studies long-term weather patterns.
  4. 5. when fossil fuels are burned in oxygen. It produced carbon dioxide.
  5. 7. process of squeezing deposited sediment.
  6. 9. when water falls from the sky
  7. 10. someone who studies groundwater.
  8. 11. fuel coal, oil and natural gas. Created from sedimentary rock created from organic matter such as plants in ancient swamps.
  9. 13. liquid to gas
  10. 14. someone who studies that climate of the past
  11. 16. the process in which plants breath in carbon dioxide and take in water, then ‘cook’ it in sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.
  12. 17. rockformed by the broken pieces of other rock
  13. 19. from a solid to a gas
  14. 20. someone who studies rocks
  15. 21. where tectonic plates meet. They are the cracks between the plates.
  16. 23. someone who studies the composition of the Earth.
  17. 24. the layers of air surrounding the planet.
  18. 25. water storage water that is stored underground in rocks called aquifers
  19. 28. opening on the underside of leaves through which water transpires
  20. 30. the outer cool layer of the earth.
  21. 33. rock forms when lava or magma is cooled
