Rock Cycle
Across
- 2. clastic rock made of coarse, angular sediments
- 5. the temperature beneath Earth's surface
- 8. sedimentary rocks formed from the evaporation of salt water
- 10. chemical compound of silicon and oxygen abundant in magma
- 12. igneous rock that forms above Earth's surface
- 14. clastic rock made of rounded gravel
- 16. foliated metamorphic rock made from low heat and pressure
- 21. solidified magma chambers beneath Earth's surface
- 22. magma with a medium silica content
- 23. a stress or force that shapes metamorphic rocks
- 24. foliated metamorphic rock made from high heat and pressure
- 26. magma low in silica
- 28. sedimentary rocks containing CO3
- 29. bands forming across metamorphic rocks
- 31. metamorphism that occurs due to pressure and causes foliation
Down
- 1. metamorphic rocks not containing bands
- 3. sedimentary rock formed from precipitation of dissolved ions in water
- 4. the breaking down of rocks into smaller particles
- 6. sedimentary rock made from organic materials from which oil can be extracted
- 7. igneous rock that forms beneath Earth's surface
- 9. metamorphism that occurs due to heat
- 11. sedimentary rock made from biological debris
- 13. the thickness and fluidity of magma
- 15. the compaction and cementation of sediments into a solid rock
- 17. sedimentary rock made from the cementation of existing sediments
- 18. magma high in silica
- 19. molten rock above Earth's surface
- 20. the process of eroded sediments being dropped in a new location
- 24. the size of the particles making up a rock
- 25. molten rock beneath Earth's surface
- 27. the wearing away of weathered particles
- 30. the movement of sediments to a new location
