Across
  1. 3. Common type of volcanic glass with felsic composition
  2. 4. Small crystals, grew rapidly near the surface in the upper crust
  3. 6. Rocks made when magma and lava cool and crystallize
  4. 8. Extrusive Volcanic rock from green to black found on many volcanic islands, which is why the upper oceanic crust is also this element
  5. 9. Coarse grained intrusive rocks of high silicates that grew slowly. This also uplifts the mountains and helps with weathering
  6. 12. Has large noticeable vesicles that has is easily able to escape
  7. 15. Matrix of larger crystals in the porphyritic texture
  8. 16. Emitted from volcanos when magma reaches the Earth’s surface
  9. 17. More granitic rocks, light silicates found in continental crust
  10. 18. Openings in the rock that show the direction the lava went through. This grew rapidly enough to expand gas bubbles
  11. 19. Almost entirely dense mafic igneous rocks
  12. 20. Solidify deep beneath the Earth’s surface
  13. 21. Rocks that solidify at Earths surface
  14. 24. A resulting rock between larger crystals and smaller crystals
Down
  1. 1. Melting of rocks in Earth’s mantle
  2. 2. Large masses of magma that grew slowly and formed larger crystals
  3. 5. Similar to granite except it is extrusive and grew faster near the surface of the Earth. Found in Yellow Stone National Park
  4. 7. Medium gray extrusive rock found in volcanic areas and is fine grained
  5. 10. Intermediate composition of granitic and basaltic composition, has at least 25 percent dark silicates
  6. 11. Made of olivine and pyroxene, main element in the upper mantle
  7. 13. Found in the oceanic crust, and is coarse grained and intrusive
  8. 14. Cooled fast, and random ions that stay in place
  9. 15. Angular blocks of glass that had fragments remaining hot enough to fuse together
  10. 22. Equivalent to Andesite, but is intrusive and the crystals are not noticeable
  11. 23. Basaltic Chemical composition, very dark and dense. Many of these are found beneath the ocean floor
