  1. 2. the process of removing empty spaces between minerals by the weight of overlying sediment
  2. 4. a soil material which is the result of weathering and decomposition of rocks that has not been transported from its original place.
  3. 5. the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size
  4. 7. rust
  5. 9. the mechanical or physical break down of rocks into smaller pieces without a change in the minerals chemical composition
  6. 10. water combines with minerals such as mica and feldspar found in granite to from clay, the rock weakens and crumbles apart
  7. 11. produced by mechanical weathering and classified by grain size, sorting, and angularity.
  8. 12. the wearing away of soil or rock by water, wind, or ice
  9. 13. as sediment is transported from its source to where it is deposited the particles collide with each other and with other objects in their path
  10. 15. parent material composition
  11. 17. formed by the actions of organisms as they build shells and other body parts by extracting chemical components from the water in which they live
  12. 19. the process by which chemicals break down through a change in the minerals chemical composition
  13. 20. occurs when water combines with carbon dioxide
Down
  1. 1. the process of gluing compacted minerals together by minerals that filter down through the sediment
  2. 3. formed when water dissolves minerals and deposits them elsewhere
  3. 6. layers of rock peel of the main body of rock
  4. 8. pieces of rock collide with each other to due water, wind, or ice
  5. 14. water freezes in a crack of the rock surface splitting the rock
  6. 16. weared away soil or rock being transported by mediums and deposited into a different landmass
  7. 18. the physical breakdown of rocks at or near the earths surface
