Unit 5 Vocab - Aiden Cheek
Across
- 3. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake.
- 6. The uneven breakage of a mineral.
- 7. Rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
- 8. A naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.
- 12. A rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma.
- 13. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed.
- 15. The color of a mineral in powdered form.
- 17. A concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface.
- 18. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
- 19. A fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred.
- 20. The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near Earth's surface.
- 21. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter.
- 22. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
- 23. The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
- 24. The way a mineral reflects light from its surface.
- 25. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
- 26. Rock formed by alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids.
Down
- 1. Loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock.
- 2. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
- 4. Magma that reaches Earth's surface.
- 5. The process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges.
- 9. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.
- 10. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
- 11. The transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice.
- 14. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid.
- 16. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions.
