Down
- 1. Layer beneath Earth’s crust where magma forms
- 3. Igneous rock that forms on Earth’s surface
- 4. Earth's plates that cause geological movement
- 5. Rock formed by heat and pressure
- 6. What turns lava or magma into solid rock
- 8. Preserved remains of ancient life in rocks
- 9. The outermost layer of the Earth
