Across
- 7. Fault where the hanging wall block moves down, in a vertical motion
- 9. Fault where the hanging wall block moves up, in a vertical motion
- 10. Faults with horizontal movement (2 words)
- 12. Increased surface area leads to MORE or LESS chemical weathering? (pick one)
- 13. Metamorphic texture where minerals are not arranged in a parallel fashion, ex: marble
- 14. Type of weathering process where the chemical composition is not changed
- 19. Material present in almost all types of metamorphic activity
- 21. Rock type that only makes up 5% of the Earth’s crust
- 22. Type of strain, where rocks can return to original shape after stress is removed
- 23. Type of metamorphic pressure that can occur at plate boundaries
- 27. Soil zone found in horizon B, where minerals build up
Down
- 1. Block that sits above the fault plane (2 words)
- 2. Type of deformation that can cause anticlines and synclines
- 3. Plate boundary where regional metamorphic activity occurs, due to high temperatures and pressures
- 4. Formation of sedimentary rocks through compaction or cementation
- 5. Mechanical weathering process where rocks expand as overlying material is removed (2 words)
- 6. Soil zone found in horizon A, where minerals are dissolved
- 8. Zone of metamorphism occurring nearest to a magma chamber
- 11. Description of sedimentary rocks when all particles are of different sizes (2 words)
- 15. One of the two agents of metamorphism that speeds up chemical reactions
- 16. Fractures where there is NO movement of blocks
- 17. Physical and/or chemical breakdown of material at Earth’s surface
- 18. Sea level rise, due to glacial melt or tectonic activity
- 20. As glaciers melt, the removal of weight causes the land to RISE or FALL (choose one)
- 24. Block that sits below the fault plane (2 words)
- 25. Organic-rich material at the top of the soil column
