Across
- 6. lowland area formed at a divergent plate where crust has separated or pulled apart
- 7. Volcanic rock, dark in color due to mineral content
- 8. loess hills and sand dunes are formed by _________________ deposition
- 10. the increase of this along faults leads to rocks breaking and earthquakes
- 13. core samples, molten rock, and magnetic stripes are evidence of this
- 14. rock that were igneous or sedimentary but have been changed by high heat and pressure
- 16. waves produced by earthquakes that travel through the lithosphere carrying energy
- 17. type of weathering that results in the breakdown of rocks without a change in composition
- 19. a plate boundary where plates are moving apart
- 20. gases _________________ and push magma up through the pipe and vent of a volcano
Down
- 1. the movement of a mass of soil and/or rock down a slope
- 2. causes rocks to fold
- 3. new ocean floor forms here
- 4. batholiths, volcanic necks and dome mountains form when magma _______________ beneath the Earth's surface
- 5. caves, sink holes, and underground lakes are features of this
- 9. freeze and thaw cycles affect slump, weathering and this
- 11. upward formation made from compression, (think shaped like an A)
- 12. deltas, flood plains, and alluvial fans are formed by this
- 15. kettles, moraines and these are formed by glacial deposition
- 18. type of weathering that results in the breakdown of rock with a change in composition
