  2. 5. magma that reaches the Earth's surface
  3. 12. heat one thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
  4. 13. type of rock formed from another type of rock being exposed to extreme heat and pressure changing it into another type of rock
  5. 14. this type of geology studies the physical properties and location of rock and soil found below the ground surface
  6. 15. where weathering occurs
  7. 16. process where wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
  8. 19. forces out water and decreases space between sediments
  9. 20. small piece of rock or other material

  1. 1. a weak spot in the crust where magma comes to the surface
  2. 3. are also known as strata when talking about rocks and form over time through processes of the rock cycle
  3. 4. type of rock that forms from the compression of sediments, dirt, or sand
  4. 6. the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
