- 4. solid rock underlying loose deposits

- 8. materials carried downward make up this layer
- 10. the process of rocks changing without the molecular structure changing
- 12. the evolution of soil
Down
- 1. the geologic material from which soil horizons form
- 3. the organic component of soil
- 6. a layer parallel to the soil surface
- 7. the vertical section of soil from the surface layer down to where it meets rock
