  1. 2. A rising body of water that submerges normally dry land
  2. 9. The process by which gravity, water, wind, and ice remove and transport sediment from one place to another
  3. 11. Event in nature that may have a negative effect
  4. 13. A change to a substance that occurs without forming a new substance, such as a change in size or state of matter
  5. 16. A prediction or estimate of future events
  6. 17. Rock formed when particles of other rocks are deposited in layers and cemented together
  7. 19. A repeated sequence of events
  8. 21. The temperature, wind, clouds, and precipitation in the atmosphere
  9. 22. Waves of energy that travel through Earth and are the result of an earthquake, volcano, or explosion
  10. 23. event in which molten rock spews out from the mantle to the surface of Earth as ash, lava, and gases
Down
  1. 1. Areas of Earth that form caverns, which are typically made of limestone
  2. 3. Distinctive part, quality, or characteristic of Earth’s outer layer
  3. 4. The mechanical or chemical processes by which gravity, water, wind, and ice break rocks into smaller pieces
  4. 5. Rock formed when lava or magma cools, forms crystals, and solidifies
  5. 6. Rock formed deep underground due to heat and pressure
  6. 7. The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system
  7. 8. Major geological event that occurs when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence along all types of plate boundaries
  8. 10. A change that involves one substance being pulled apart or combined with another substance to form a completely different substance or substances
  9. 12. The cycle through which Earth’s rocks change from one type into another over time due to various Earth processes; creates changes in mineral compositions and physical structures
  10. 14. Forces resulting from processes occurring within Earth’s crust
  11. 15. Extreme weather events such as floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes; classified by the extent and intensity of their impact on the ecosystem
  12. 18. Earth material that is broken down by processes of weathering; can be eroded and deposited by the agents of water, wind, ice, and gravity
  13. 20. The process by which gravity, water, wind, and ice deposit weathered and relocated sediment
