Across
- 4. a process that displaces rock layers when surfaces on either side of a crack in the Earth's surface shift
- 7. the process that occurs when two plates converge, causing the crust to fold over onto itself
- 8. a plate boundary where two plates collide
- 9. a destructive natural process through which rock and soil are loosened and removed from the Earth's surface
- 10. pulled under the other tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary
- 11. any change to the Earth's crust that results from two tectonic plates converging
- 12. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold upward
- 13. the slope of a river or stream
- 14. a slow, broad, upward movement of the Earth's surface
- 15. a rock created with deposited sediments usually a rock with fossils preserved in them
- 19. processes that help to build, shape, or initiate geological features such as mountains and volcanoes
- 20. a landform that results when increased pressure is put on rock layers, causing them to fold downward
Down
- 1. a rock created from cooled molten magma
- 2. the feature that forms where a stream or river ends and deposits sediments on land
- 3. circular movement of molten magma that causes tectonic plates to shift
- 5. processes such as landslides or stream erosion that break down or wash away the surface of geological features
- 6. particles of sand, stone, or dirt that are removed from the Earth's surface and deposited elsewhere
- 16. the feature that forms when sediment is carried from a stream or river into another body of water
- 17. the area extending from a stream to its valley walls, where sedimet is deposited when the stream overflows
- 18. a rock created with extreme heat and pressure
