Across
- 4. large, perennial accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves down slope under the influence of its own weight and gravity.
- 6. Crust describes the outermost shell of a terrestrial planet.
- 8. the mostly solid bulk of Earth's interior
- 10. a freshwater stream that feeds into a larger stream or river.
- 11. The geosphere is the layer of Earth made up of solid rock and other rocky materials.
- 12. the mechanically weak and ductile region of the upper mantle of Earth.
- 13. A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or another planetary body
- 14. The biosphere is the thin life-supporting stratum of Earth's surface, extending from a few kilometres into the atmosphere to the deep-sea vents of the ocean
Down
- 1. an extrusive igneous rock, which forms from volcanic lava that cools rapidly at Earth's surface
- 2. Pressure is defined as the physical force exerted on an object.
- 3. The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. It helps make life possible by providing us with air to breathe.
- 5. The central or innermost portion of the Earth, lying below the mantle and probably consisting of iron and nickel.
