Across
  1. 5. – A sedimentary rock made of rounded pebbles cemented together.
  2. 6. – Light-colored igneous rocks high in silica.
  3. 8. (Metamorphism) – Rock transformation due to widespread heat and pressure.
  4. 13. – A clastic rock with sharp, angular fragments.
  5. 15. – A fine-grained metamorphic rock that splits into flat pieces.
  6. 17. – Molten rock beneath Earth’s surface.
  7. 18. – Minerals containing carbon and oxygen, often found in limestone.
  8. 20. Shale – A sedimentary rock rich in organic matter used for fuel.
  9. 23. – A body of intrusive igneous rock formed underground.
  10. 24. – Igneous rocks with a composition between mafic and felsic.
  11. 25. – A sedimentary rock made of broken pieces of other rocks.
  12. 26. – A hard, glassy mineral composed of silicon and oxygen.
  13. 27. – A foliated metamorphic rock with banded texture.
  14. 29. – The breaking down of rocks by natural forces.
  15. 31. (Metamorphism) – Rock change due to heat from nearby magma.
  16. 32. – Metamorphic texture with no mineral alignment.
Down
  1. 1. – The movement of sediments by wind, water, or ice.
  2. 2. – Sedimentary rock formed from dissolved minerals crystallizing.
  3. 3. – The alignment of minerals in metamorphic rock due to pressure.
  4. 4. – The process of turning sediment into rock.
  5. 7. – Igneous rock formed from lava cooling quickly on Earth’s surface.
  6. 9. – Minerals left behind when water evaporates.
  7. 10. – A key factor in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
  8. 11. Size – A way to classify rocks by the size of their particles.
  9. 12. – Dark-colored, magnesium- and iron-rich igneous rock type.
  10. 14. – Magma that has reached the Earth’s surface.
  11. 16. – A type of sedimentary rock formed from plant or animal remains.
  12. 19. – The process of wearing away rocks by wind, water, or ice.
  13. 21. – A measure of how thick and slow-flowing lava is.
  14. 22. – Along with pressure, this helps transform rocks during metamorphism.
  15. 28. – The process of sediments settling out of water or air.
  16. 30. – Type of igneous rock that forms from magma cooling slowly underground.
