Across
  1. 5. the science that deals with the earths physical structure and substances for example:rocks and minerals.
  2. 7. the liquid part/layer if the earth that is above the inner core and under the mantle.
  3. 9. the erosion of rocks or anything on the earths surface that was caused by chemical reactions.
  4. 12. the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
  5. 13. the cycle or process in which water circulates between the earths oceans, atmosphere, and land.
  6. 15. the planet that we live on.
  7. 16. when fluids move by the tendency of hotter and less dense material to rise and denser material to sink under gravity.
  8. 18. the regions of the surface and atmosphere of the earth that is occupied by living organisms.
  9. 19. the geological process in which pieces of sediment, soil, and rocks are added to land.
  10. 21. rock that has solidified from lava or magma from volcanoes.
  11. 22. the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves, especially high energy particles that cause ionization.
  12. 23. any of the spherical regions of matter that makes up the earth and it's atmosphere.
Down
  1. 1. all the waters on the earths surface such as lakes and seas and sometimes including clouds.
  2. 2. an area of low lying ground next to a river formed of river sediments.
  3. 3. rock that has formed from sediment deposited by water or air.
  4. 4. the innermost part/layer of the earth that is a ball and it is estimated to be the same temperature as the sun.
  5. 6. a cavity in the ground, usually limestone, caused by water erosion and porous earth surface.
  6. 8. when some form or type of weather breaks down rocks, soils, minerals, and any natural matter on the earth.
  7. 10. rock that has undergone transformation by heat, pressure, or other natural matter.
  8. 11. the portions of the earths surface where water is in solid from such as sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, and glaciers.
  9. 14. when heat or electricity travels through a substance without movement of the material.
  10. 17. the outermost layer/part of the earth that is above the mantle and the driest layer.
  11. 20. the part/layer of the earth that is in between the crust and the outer core that is made up of hot, dense silicate rocks.
  12. 24. the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or any other types of natural agents.
