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