Across
  1. 6. repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks
  2. 11. exerted by surrounding solids including that caused by the weight of the overlying material
  3. 13. Formed when magma penetrates existing rock
  4. 15. the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock
  5. 17. the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth
  6. 18. high grade metamorphic rock
  7. 19. Hot liquid coming out of volcano
  8. 21. composed primarily of carbonate minerals
  9. 24. the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks
  10. 27. organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen
  11. 28. a type of metamorphism where rock minerals and texture are changed, mainly by heat, due to contact with magma
  12. 31. a type of rock composed of clasts or fragments of preexisting rocks and sediments
Down
  1. 1. rocks that do not have a platy or sheet-like structure
  2. 2. the processes by which the sediment is moved along
  3. 3. when rocks or particles of soil or silt are carried from one location and placed in another, usually by moving water or wind
  4. 4. When magma from inside the Earth flows onto the surface as lava or explodes
  5. 5. a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous, metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock
  6. 7. a type of sedimentary rock that is composed of large, rounded rock fragments contained within a smaller, fine-grained matrix of sediments
  7. 8. a rock formed from angular gravel and boulder-sized clasts cemented together in a matrix
  8. 9. the process where rocks are broken down by natural forces such as wind or water
  9. 10. any large igneous body that has congealed from magma underground
  10. 12. A type of metamorphism in which the mineralogy and texture of rocks are changed over a wide area
  11. 14. silicate mineral or igneous rock rich in magnesium and iron
  12. 16. Hot liquid in the earth
  13. 20. layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines
  14. 21. a type of rock that begins as sediments, which are then cemented together through natural processes
  15. 22. containing large quantities of organic molecules
  16. 23. a fluid's resistance to flowing
  17. 25. Hot temperature
  18. 26. medium silica composition, equally rich in felsic minerals (feldspar) and mafic minerals (amphibole, biotite, pyroxene)
  19. 29. a group of sedimentary rocks that consist largely or almost entirely of silicon dioxide
  20. 30. a group of light-colored minerals including feldspar, feldspathoids, quartz, and muscovite
