Across
  1. 5. rock rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids
  2. 9. resource A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  3. 10. spreading the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
  4. 11. magma that reaches Earth's surface
  5. 13. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
  6. 16. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
  7. 21. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
  8. 22. The process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions; changes the rock's molecular composition
  9. 23. boundary A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  10. 25. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
Down
  1. 1. The process in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces; no change in rock composition.
  2. 2. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  3. 3. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
  4. 4. boundary A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  5. 5. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
  6. 6. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
  7. 7. boundary A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
  8. 8. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
  9. 12. wave vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
  10. 14. rock rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
  11. 15. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid
  12. 17. rock a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
  13. 18. A device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
  14. 19. resource A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
  15. 20. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
  16. 24. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
