Changing Earth Revision

4. Igneous rock formed from magma that cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
6. Molten rock that has erupted onto the Earth's surface from a volcano.
7. The central part of the Earth, made of iron and nickel.
11. Igneous rock formed from lava that cooled quickly on the Earth's surface.
13. The thickest layer of the Earth, found just below the crust.
14. The process by which magma or lava hardens into rock.
15. The state of matter of the inner core.
17. The process of 'gluing' sediments together with dissolved minerals.
18. The force exerted on an area, which is essential for forming metamorphic rock.
20. The preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, often found in sedimentary rock.
22. The state of matter of the outer core.
23. Molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface.
24. The continuous process by which rocks are created, changed, and destroyed.
26. The chemical and physical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces.
28. The liquid layer of the Earth's core.

1. The process of dropping off or settling of sediments by wind, water, or ice.
2. The process of sediments being squeezed together under pressure.
3. This is required along with pressure to create metamorphic rocks.
5. Rock formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock.
8. The solid, extremely hot, innermost part of the Earth.
9. The process of a solid turning into a liquid due to heat.
10. The study of the Earth, its structure, and the processes that shape it.
12. Rock formed from the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of sediment.
13. Rock formed when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth.
16. A large, moving section of the Earth's lithosphere.
17. The thin, solid, outermost layer of the Earth.
19. Small, solid pieces of material that come from the weathering of rocks.
21. Earth's interior is arranged in these, such as the crust, mantle, and core.
25. A naturally occurring, solid substance with a specific chemical composition that forms rocks.
27. The transport of weathered rock fragments by wind, water, or ice.
