rock cycle
Across
- 6. are parts of rocks, shells, dead organisms that have been worn down into small pieces
- 8. Most of these rocks are made from this
- 9. This rock is made when it is underground and compacted and it starts to become sediment.
- 10. agents that weather and erode rocks into sediments
- 11. magma that has erupted onto the earth's surface
- 15. Rock is quarried to produce crushed stone, which is used to build dams, roads, and bridges. Split of blocks of rock.
- 16. a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth's crust.
- 17. process where sediments are left or deposited somewhere else as a result of erosion
- 18. the quality of a rock that is based on the sizes,shapes,and positions of the rocks grains.
- 19. This one is formed when hot molten rock(magma) crystalizes and solidifies.
- 20. Layers of rock(singular, stratum)
Down
- 1. This happens when weathering slowly wears down rocks, soil, and more.
- 2. process by which dissolved minerals glue particles of sediment together into rock
- 3. Magma cools either underground or on the surface and hardens into an igneous rock
- 4. A process that turns sediment into sedimentary rock.
- 5. hot melted rock found deep inside the earth
- 7. wearing down of rocks into smaller pieces that changes the mineral composition of rocks
- 12. The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers
- 13. reduced to liquid form by heating
- 14. this rock is formed when other rocks ae formed by high heat, and high pressure.
