Rock Cycle

2. The breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces called sediment.
5. The squeezing together of sediment by weight of sediments on top.
8. What's the name of the molten rock that has erupted onto Earth's surface.
9. The changing of rock either physically, chemically, or by heat and pressure.
13. To become cool: lose heat or warmth.
15. Process of arranging sedimentary rocks into layers.
17. Caused by heat and pressure around the rock to form magma.
18. What is formed when rock melts deep underground?
19. The rock that is formed from the cooling of molten rock below Earth’s surface.
20. Through heat and pressure, the rock’s atoms and crystals are rearranged.
21. A continuous series of events through which a rock is transformed from one type to another.
22. The transporting of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity.

1. States that layers and fossils on top are younger than lower layers.
3. The rock that is formed from the cooling of molten rock on Earth’s surface.
4. The compaction and cementing of sediment into rock.
6. The process that occurs under the earth's surface and turns any kind of rock into metamorphic rock.
7. What rock forms when sediments are compacted and compressed?
10. What forms from an increase of temperature and pressure?
11. Horizontal layers formed from deposited sedimentary rock.
12. The top layer of Earth’s surface that supports plant growth.
14. What rock forms from the cooling and hardening of magma or lava?
16. What is the natural process of adding transported sediments to a landform.
