Across
- 4. The metamorphic rock texture in which mineral grains are arranged in planes or bands
- 7. Very large blocks of rock, created by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust
- 8. A rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of LAVA at the Earth's surface
- 9. Formed mainly by the effects of folding on layers within the upper part of the Earth's crust
- 10. The boundary between two tectonic plates moving away from each other.
- 12. Type of rock formed from liquid, molten material; from the Latin "on fire".
- 13. The process by sediment grains are bound together to form sedimentary rock.
Down
- 1. Minerals whose presence defines a minimum temperature a rock must have achieved in order to complete the metamorphic process
- 2. Formed from rising magma that pushed the overlying rock layers upward to form a dome shape, without the magma breaking through the surface
- 3. A break in a body of rock along which one block slides past another
- 5. A boundary that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
- 6. A type of stress that squeezes and shortens a body; associated with a convergent plate boundary and mountain building.
- 11. A condition when the forces of gravity and buoyancy are balanced between the crust and the mantle
