6. the way in which a whole or mixture is made up
9. The layer of hot, solid material between Earth’s crust and core
10. crust the outer, solid layer of the Earth that forms continents and continental shelves
12. a substance that forms below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed with cooling
13. core A dense sphere of solid iron and nickel at the center of Earth
16. rock A type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at or below the Earth's surface
17. crust The process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
18. the scientific study of the Earth, including its structure
19. and the processes that shape it
20. molten rock that erupts onto the Earth's surface from volcanoes or fissures

1. the process where solid particles separate from a liquid
2. Rock A type of rock that forms when particles from other rocks or the remains of plants and animals are pressed and cemented together.
3. When pressure compacts sediments and makes it cemented together
4. A series of processes on the surface and inside Earth that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another
5. The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves weathered particles of rock and soil
7. core A layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the inner core of Earth
8. rock A type of rock that forms from an existing rock that is changed by heat, pressure, or chemical reactions
11. Small solid pieces of material that come from rocks or the remains of organisms earth materials deposited by erosion
14. The layer of rock that forms Earth’s outer surface
15. the process of breaking down rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface due to exposure to environmental factors like water, temperature, and biological activity
19. The pressure of a force that makes it dense
