Across
- 2. having the effect of making something less warm or hot.
- 3. the solid mineral material forming part of the surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans.
- 5. a light, porous rock formed by consolidation of volcanic ash.
- 7. an extremely compact, hard, granular rock consisting essentially of quartz. It often occurs as silicified sandstone, as in sarsen stones.
- 9. hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock are formed on cooling.
- 11. hot molten or semifluid rock erupted from a volcano or fissure, or solid rock resulting from cooling of this.
- 15. the exertion of force on something so that it becomes more dense.
- 17. sedimentary rock consisting of sand or quartz grains cemented together, typically red, yellow, or brown in color.
- 18. the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
- 20. a shelf or slab of stone, wood, or metal at the foot of a window or doorway.
Down
- 1. a system of subparallel wavy ridges and furrows left on sand or mud by the action of water or wind, and sometimes fossilized.
- 4. a piece of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces.
- 6. (of a rock formation) be broken by a fault or faults.
- 8. relating to or denoting a group of light-colored minerals including feldspar, feldspathoids, quartz, and muscovite.
- 10. is a small cavity in rock lined with crystals or other mineral matter.
- 12. the bottom of the sea or a lake or river.
- 13. (of rock) having solidified from lava or magma.
- 14. the remains or impressions of a prehistoric organism preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock.
- 16. a point at which parts of an artificial structure are joined.
- 19. becoming liquefied by heat.
