Across
- 1. The removal and transportation of rock and soil by agents like water, wind, and ice.
- 2. A bend in rock layers caused by compressive forces during crustal deformation.
- 4. The wearing away of the Earth's surface through weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition, often leading to lower land elevations.
- 5. The breakdown of rocks into smaller particles by physical, chemical, or biological processes.
- 6. The process by which magma reaches the Earth’s surface, forming volcanoes and lava flows.
- 8. The process by which eroded material is laid down in new locations, forming landforms like deltas and sand dunes.
Down
- 1. Vibrations caused by the sudden release of energy due to shifting tectonic plates or fault lines.
- 2. A crack in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred due to stress.
- 3. Extremely large volcanic systems that can produce catastrophic eruptions, releasing massive amounts of magma, ash, and gases, potentially affecting global climate.
- 7. The movement and deformation of the Earth's crust caused by forces such as plate tectonics, leading to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
