Across
  1. 4. The process of splitting into thin sheets or layers
  2. 6. forms when rocks are subjected to high heat, pressure hot mineral-rich fluid, or some combo of three
  3. 7. The process by which water ice wind or gravity moves weathering particles of sock and soil
  4. 9. The chemical and physical processes that break down rock and other substances
  5. 13. liquid magma that reaches the surface
  6. 14. The process by which dissolved minerals crystalize and glue particles of sediment together
  7. 15. small crystal because of cooling quickly
  8. 16. Processes that destroy landforms
  9. 18. The preserved remains or traces of an organism that lived in the past
  10. 19. Force that builds up an existing landform or makes a new one
Down
  1. 1. when deposits of pre-existing rocks get compacted and form a rock
  2. 2. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations
  3. 3. Small solid pieces that come from rocks
  4. 5. large crystal sizes
  5. 8. The molten mixture of rock-forming substances gases and water from the mantle
  6. 10. formed when hit molten rock crystallizes and solidify intrusive and extrusive depending on where it solidifies
  7. 11. A common extrusive volcanic rock, visually grey or black and fine-grained because of fast cooling lava
  8. 12. Most widely known igneous rock, intrusive, with visible grains of feldspar, quartz, mica, minerals
  9. 17. The look and feel of a rock's surface determined by the size shape and pattern of rock grains
  10. 20. When sand, clay, or small rocks are pressed together over time so the space between the piece gets smaller
