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