Across
  1. 3. is a common and widely distributed type of metamorphic rock formed by high temperature and pressure
  2. 7. relating to or derived from living matter.
  3. 8. repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks.
  4. 10. continuous physical force exerted on or against an object
  5. 12. light-colored minerals including feldspar, feldspathoids, quartz, and muscovite.
  6. 13. complex process whereby freshly deposited loose grains of sediment are converted into rock.
  7. 17. rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts
  8. 18. hot molten or semifluid rock erupted from a volcano
  9. 20. form from molten material that flows and solidifies underground.
  10. 23. is the diameter of individual grains of sediment
  11. 24. hot fluid or semifluid material below the earth’s surface
  12. 25. the quality of being hot
  13. 26. containing a group of dark-colored, mainly ferromagnesian minerals such as pyroxene and olivine.
  14. 30. metamorphism affecting rocks over an extensive area as a result of the large-scale action of heat and pressure.
  15. 32. are roughly even mixtures of felsic minerals and mafic minerals
Down
  1. 1. rock consisting of angular fragments cemented together.
  2. 2. composed primarily of carbonate minerals.
  3. 4. a hard, unreactive, colorless compound which occurs as the mineral quartz
  4. 5. composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.
  5. 6. Not layered metamorphic rocks
  6. 9. the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency
  7. 11. the gradual destruction by wind or water
  8. 14. refers to the processes by which the sediment is moved along
  9. 15. metamorphic rock easily split into smooth, flat pieces.
  10. 16. magma from inside the Earth flows out onto the surface as lava or explodes violently into the atmosphere
  11. 19. the mineralogy and texture of a body of rock are changed by exposure to the pressure and extreme temperature associated with a body of intruding magma.
  12. 21. the process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere.
  13. 22. turn from liquid into vapor.
  14. 27. relating to chemistry
  15. 28. is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.
  16. 29. an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock
  17. 31. a body of intrusive igneous rock.
