Down
- 1. rock A type of rock that forms from an existing rock that is changed by heat, pressure, or chemical reactions
- 4. the process of breaking down rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface due to exposure to environmental factors like water, temperature, and biological activity
- 5. Small solid pieces of material that come from rocks or the remains of organisms; earth materials deposited by erosion
- 7. Rock A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.
- 8. Cycle A series of processes on the surface and inside Earth that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another.
