Earth’s features and processes

2. Molten (melted) rock that breaks through the Earth's surface.
3. A wide, flat volcano shaped like a warrior's shield, formed by thin, runny lava that flows easily and oozes out quietly (like the volcanoes in Hawaii)
4. The preserved remains, traces, or imprints of a living thing (plant or animal) from long ago, usually found trapped in sedimentary rock layers.
7. Small pieces of rock, sand, soil, and shell that have been broken down by weathering.
8. The movement of weathered rock, soil, or sediment from one place to another by natural forces like water, wind, or gravity.
9. An opening in the Earth’s crust where lava, ash, and gases erupt.
10. Molten rock that is still trapped beneath the Earth's surface.

1. A tall, steep, mountain-shaped volcano formed by thick, sticky lava that traps gases, leading to explosive eruptions.
2. The rapid downward movement of a mass of rock, earth, or debris down a slope, triggered by gravity, heavy rain, or earthquakes.
5. A type of rock formed when layers of sediment are pressed and glued together over millions of years (e.g., sandstone, limestone).
6. The process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces (sediment) over time by wind, water, ice, or plant roots.
