Across
- 4. Sea level rise, due to glacial melt or tectonic activity
- 6. Type of weathering process where the chemical composition is not changed
- 7. Physical and/or chemical breakdown of material at Earth’s surface
- 10. Soil zone found in horizon A, where minerals are dissolved
- 13. Mechanical weathering process where rocks expand as overlying material is removed (2 words)
- 15. Plate boundary where regional metamorphic activity occurs, due to high temperatures and pressures
- 16. One of the two agents of metamorphism that speeds up chemical reactions
- 17. Soil zone found in horizon B, where minerals build up
Down
- 1. Type of metamorphic pressure that can occur at plate boundaries
- 2. Zone of metamorphism occurring nearest to a magma chamber
- 3. Rock type that only makes up 5% of the Earth’s crust
- 5. Material present in almost all types of metamorphic activity
- 8. Organic-rich material at the top of the soil column
- 9. Description of sedimentary rocks when all particles are of different sizes (2 words)
- 11. Metamorphic texture where minerals are not arranged in a parallel fashion, ex: marble
- 12. Increased surface area leads to MORE or LESS chemical weathering? (pick one)
- 14. Formation of sedimentary rocks through compaction or cementation
