rock cycle
Across
- 3. magma comes into contact with older surrounding rocks, causing metamorphism
- 6. the quality of being hot
- 8. rocks with high feldspar and silica content
- 10. metamorphic rocks that do not show layers
- 11. settling and coming to rest of transported material
- 13. rock containing oil
- 14. common mineral that makes magma more viscous when it has a higher content
- 18. fine grained foliated metamorphic rock
- 19. geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water
- 20. rocks with high magnesium and iron content
- 21. the process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere
- 22. course grained foliated metamorphic rock
- 25. composed of rounded gravel cemented together
- 26. rocks that cool quickly on earth's surface
- 27. most common sedimentary rock; cemented sediment grains
- 28. continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
- 32. size of individual sediment particles
Down
- 1. molten rock that has reached earth's surface
- 2. process converting sediments into rock
- 4. composed of course, angular rock fragments cemented together
- 5. resistance to flow
- 7. movement of sediment away from its source
- 9. sedimentary rocks with crystalline structure
- 12. rocks that cool slowly without reaching the surface
- 15. type of rock that forms when magma solidifies below earth's surface
- 16. metamorphism caused by extreme heat and pressure; happens over wide areas
- 17. metamorphic rocks where the minerals have been flattened into parallel layers
- 23. magma with ~50% silica content
- 24. contain CO3 in their composition
- 29. form from evaporating saline water
- 30. sedimentary rocks that accumulate from the remains of organisms
- 31. molten rock
