Rock Cycle
Across
- 4. minerals that were left behind from a solution where the water evaporated, which are then cemented together through natural processes
- 5. a process in sedimentary rock cycle that deals with moving sediments
- 7. the wearing away of rock into sediments
- 13. sedimentary rock of pebbles that are cemented together. The cement is visible
- 14. metamorphosed shale, fine grained metamorphic rock that smooth to touch
- 16. sediments are bonded together to create a rock
- 17. rock made with more than 65% silica
- 20. repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks
- 22. really hot liquid that is above the surface
- 23. water makes sediments travel
- 25. water turns into gas
- 26. sedimentary rock formed from angular gravel and boulder sized clasts cemented together in a matrix
- 28. Within the earth, rocks are squeezed together under a lot of _______
- 30. rock made with between 55% and 65% silica
- 31. diameter of individual grains
Down
- 1. molten rock under the earth's surface
- 2. rock that was made within the earths crust
- 3. metamorphic rocks form from a lot of heat and pressure over a wide area
- 6. an oxide of silicon, is found in sedimentary rocks
- 8. not repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks
- 9. how thick a liquid is
- 10. metamorphic rocks form from a lot of heat, where pressure is not a key factor
- 11. where sediments settle in one area
- 12. its like really hot in the earth
- 15. Sedimentary rock rich in kerogen
- 18. rock that was made on the earths surface
- 19. rock/minerals rich in carbon
- 21. high grade metamorphic rock with bands, composed of granite
- 24. rocks that contain evidence of life, such as fossils
- 27. sedimentary rock composed of broken pieces of clast
- 28. a body of intrusive igneous rocks that crystallizes under the earth's surface
- 29. rock made with between 45% and 55% silica
