Across
  1. 4. The metamorphic rock texture in which mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands
  2. 7. Very large blocks of rock, created by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust
  3. 8. A rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of LAVA at the Earth's surface
  4. 9. Formed mainly by the effects of folding on layers within the upper part of the Earth's crust
  5. 10. The boundary between two tectonic plates moving away from each other.
  6. 12. Type of rock formed from liquid, molten material; from the Latin "on fire".
  7. 13. The process by sediment grains are bound together to form sedimentary rock.
Down
  1. 1. Minerals whose presence defines a minimum temperature a rock must have achieved in order to complete the metamorphic process
  2. 2. Formed from rising magma that pushed the overlying rock layers upward to form a dome shape, without the magma breaking through the surface
  3. 3. A break in a body of rock along which one block slides past another
  4. 5. A boundary that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
  5. 6. A type of stress that squeezes and shortens a body; associated with a convergent plate boundary and mountain building.
  6. 11. A condition when the forces of gravity and buoyancy are balanced between the crust and the mantle
