Across
  1. 2. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
  2. 6. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
  3. 8. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  4. 11. rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
  5. 13. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
  6. 14. the soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
  7. 16. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids
  8. 18. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
  9. 20. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
  10. 21. A device that records ground movements caused by seismic waves as they move through Earth
  11. 24. The process in which rock is broken down by chemical reactions; changes the rock's molecular composition
  12. 26. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid
Down
  1. 1. a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
  2. 3. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  3. 4. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
  4. 5. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
  5. 7. the rigid outer part of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  6. 9. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
  7. 10. a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
  8. 12. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  9. 15. The process in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces; no change in rock composition.
  10. 17. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
  11. 19. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
  12. 22. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
  13. 23. that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake
  14. 25. magma that reaches Earth's surface
