Across
- 6. heat and pressure inside earth melt and squeeze minerals in rocks this changes the minerals themselves or their grain sizes
- 9. weathering breaks apart existing rocks forming sediment.erosion moves sediment to new locations
- 10. petrified remains of animal dung
- 15. loose but rich soil
- 16. most pieces or weathered rock
- 17. moving pieces of ice (also a Fortnite reference)
- 18. converget plate boundaries move over a large amount of time and “eat another plate”
- 19. rich in minerals and contains humus and clay
- 20. Impressions of parts of organisms left in soil or sediment before it hardens
Down
- 1. plants rooots can grow in cracks of rocks as roots grow they break apart the rock
- 2. when mineral replaces bone or shell.
- 3. this version of a plate is very unusual it with its 1 side go north 1 side go south. The only transform plate is in California
- 4. hot temps deep inside earth melts rock forming magma
- 5. the underlying force of erosion and deposition
- 7. moving water and air That can carry sand and small particles
- 8. decaying leaves twigs animal waste and bodies
- 11. pressure compacts sediment together water between particles evaporates leaving minerals that cement sediment
- 12. magma that rises from deep inside the earth cools as it reaches the surface hardening into rock magma also cools beneath the surface
- 13. changes the chemical makeup of rocks and minerals, also known as rust
- 14. this plate moves away from another plate and goes the opposite of another plate.
