Rock Cycle
Across
- 2. when one tectonic plate sinks beneath another
- 4. rock formed from heat and pressure
- 6. when minerals glue sediments together
- 9. the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces
- 10. small pieces of broken rock
- 12. the movement of sediments by wind, water, or ice
- 16. when rock is pushed upward to the surface
- 17. the dropping of sediments in a new location
- 18. the movement of sediments
- 20. when minerals form as magma cools
- 21. magma that reaches Earth’s surface
Down
- 1. the change of rock under heat and pressure
- 3. when sediments are squeezed together
- 5. the continuous process of rock change
- 7. what is pushed up from the mantle, forming igneous rocks?
- 8. Rock what rock forms when sediments are deposited and compressed together
- 11. rock formed from cooled magma or lava
- 13. when rock turns into magma
- 14. force that squeezes rock deep underground
- 15. energy that changes rock
- 19. when magma or lava hardens
