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