Unit 6

3. The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered particles of rock and soil.
5. When something is crushed together or compressed
10. solid pieces of material that come from rocks or the remains of organisms; earth materials deposited by erosion.
11. breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of Earth
12. the binding together of particles or other things by cement.
14. Rock:A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at or below the Earth's surface.
15. Rock:A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.
16. fluid or semi fluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed on cooling.
18. molten rock that issues from a volcano or from a fissure in the surface of a planet (such as earth) or moon
19. Cycle: A series of processes on the surface and inside Earth that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another.

1. that covers or surrounds something else
2. naturally occurring solid that can form by inorganic processes and that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.
4. Rock: A specific process that some rocks undergo when heat and pressure changes them
6. crust:the relatively thick part of the earth's crust that forms the large landmasses. It is generally older and more complex than the oceanic crust.
7. the outermost solid shell of a planet or moon
8. science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.
9. core:A layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of Earth.
10. process of settling or being deposited as a sediment.
13. core: the solid, innermost layer of the Earth, primarily composed of iron and nickel
17. crust:the relatively thin part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. It is geologically young compared with the continental crust and consists of basaltic rock overlain by sediments.
