Down
  1. 1. A form of erosion that can make pits in rocks and produce smooth, polished surfaces.
  2. 3. A mixture of weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air that supports the growth of plant life
  3. 4. Sediment can collect in layers to form rocks
  4. 5. Mechanical or chemical surface process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces
  5. 7. new rocks that form when existing rocks are heated or squeezed but not melted
  6. 9. usually made of two or more minerals
  7. 11. Occurs when a mass of rock or sediment moves downhill, leaving a curved scar
  8. 15. Surface feature of an area influence the types of soil that develop.
  9. 18. the melt cools below Earth's surface
