Down
- 1. The process of changing shape or distorting.
- 3. Earth's crust located under the ocean.
- 5. A mountain or hill, typically, forming a cone shape, which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas…
- 6. The point of the Earth's surface where an earthquake originates.
- 8. Processes that destroy or recycle material on Earth.
- 9. The relatively thick part of the Earth's crust that forms the large landmasses.
- 13. Solid rock underneath deposits of sediment on the surface.
- 16. Solid Material such as rocks, minerals, and remains of plants and animals that can be moved and deposited.
- 18. The slow movement of the Earth's materials.
