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