Across
- 3. Processes that form, break down, and re-form rock from one category to another
- 5. The transport of sediment by wind, water, or gravity
- 7. Rock formed from layers of sand, soil, clay, gravel, and other sediment built up over time
- 8. rock formed in chemical reactions where one type of rock is changed by pressure or heat into a new rock
Down
- 1. Rock formed when hot liquid rock cools into a solid
- 2. Mixed mineral matter that makes up Earth's continents and oceanic crust
- 3. Heat transfer that occurs without contact between the heat source and the object
- 4. heat transfer in fluids where warmer, less-dense fluid rises, allowing cooler, denser fluid to take its place
- 6. The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces from exposure to things like wind and water
