The Rock Cycle

3. The process that breaks down rock through chemical changes
8. Magma that reaches Earth's surface
10. Rock formed when magma or lava cools and hardens. (Crystallization takes place)
12. and crystallization two processes creating igneous rock formations
13. The breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface.
15. Any process that breaks rock down into smaller pieces without changing the chemistry of the rock; typically wind and water
16. The process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to higher elevations
17. the series of processes that change one type of rock into another type of rock

1. These are the processes that form sedimentary rock.
2. Molten rock beneath the earth's surface
4. The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment MOVES from one location to another
5. Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
6. rock that has been changed by heat and pressure
7. small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things
9. process that turns rock to magma
11. and pressure These two forces work together to transform rocks deep inside Earth's crust into metamorphic rock
14. A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together
