Across
  1. 2. process where the formation of sedimentary rock caused by weathering and erosion due to wind, water, ice, and gravity on Earth
  2. 5. rocks formed by the accumulation of sediments; most fossils are preserved here
  3. 10. rocks that are formed under the surface of the Earth that causes chemical changes due to high heat and pressure
  4. 13. occurs due to the cooling process which allows the liquid material to solidify
  5. 14. occurs when sedimentary grains are tightly packed together
  6. 15. rocks formed from the cooling or crystallization of molten rock material
  7. 16. fragments of material made of sand, shells, and pebbles
Down
  1. 1. allows a solid to change into a liquid because of heat
  2. 3. process where the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock caused by heat from the Earth
  3. 4. allows sediments to be loosened
  4. 6. the loosened sediments move from on place to another
  5. 7. occurs when sediments have settled
  6. 8. molten rock deep within the Earth
  7. 9. a series of processes that transform the types of rocks in the Earth's crust
  8. 11. occurs due to the decrease in temperature
  9. 12. molten rock that has erupted from with Earth to the surface
