Earth science
Across
- 2. high temperatures deep in the earths crust causes rocks and minerals to melt
- 5. rocks from from quickly cooled lava
- 7. over time heat and pressure inside the earth squeeze and melt existing rocks
- 11. streak is the color of a mineral in powder form
- 13. the atoms or ions of a mineral are arranged in a certain pattern
- 14. large mineral grains
- 15. is the tendency of a mineral to break in a way that is not along a flat surface
- 17. magma that reaches to the surface
- 18. beneath the oceans/ earth
Down
- 1. pieces of rocks, minerals, remains of living things, and dissolved minerals that come out of water
- 3. is a rock that has been changed in form by pressure and heat
- 4. a mineral may be one color or many color you cannot identify a mineral by color alone
- 5. solid earth materials formed from a mixture of minerals and sometimes other materials
- 6. new layers of sediment build up over time, pressing down on older layers underneath
- 8. is the tendency of a mineral to break along a flat surface
- 9. is a ability of a mineral to resist being scratched
- 10. hot temperatures deep inside the earth melts rocks, forming magma
- 12. formed when magma or lava cools and becomes solid
- 16. forms when minerals come out of solution and settle on the ocean floor
- 17. this property describes how a mineral reflects light from its surface
