The Rock Cycle and Plate Tectonics
Across
- 2. Type of plate boundary when two continental plates spread apart from each other.
- 4. Sedimentary rock is turned to metamorphic rock when ______ and _________ are applied (no spaces).
- 6. When compacted and cemented, ___________ is turned to sedimentary rock
- 8. These rocks are formed beneath the Earth's surface from the change that occurs due to intense heat and pressure. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
- 9. Hot, liquid rock found deep inside the Earth.
- 10. cycle The name of the cycle undergone by rocks in the earth's crust.
- 11. These rocks are formed when magma cools and hardens. Sometimes the magma cools inside the earth, and other times it erupts onto the surface from volcanoes. They form at divergent boundaries.
Down
- 1. Type of plate boundary when two continental plates are pushed together.
- 3. These rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. They form at the sea floor then get pushed down at convergent boundaries.
- 5. Type of plate boundary when two continental plates are sliding.
- 7. Sediment is ___________ together to form sedimentary rock.
- 8. __________ turns metamorphic rock into magma.
