Plate Tectonics 6.4

2. the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together
4. a sudden or violent shaking of the ground as a result of movement under earth's surface
5. loose earth materials found on the surface of the Earth (rocks, sand, soil, etc.)
8. a type of rock that forms from the cooling of molten rock at or below the surface
12. layer of hot, solid rock between the crust and the core of the Earth
14. a series of processes on the surface and inside Earth that slowly changes rocks from one kind to another
15. the point on Earth's surface that is directly above where an earthquake has occurred
16. the process by which sediments are pressed together under their own weight
18. center of the Earth, made up of solid metals and rock materials
19. the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
20. layer of molten/liquid rock and metals between the mantle and core of the Earth
21. process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.

1. a rock that forms from compressed or cemented layers of sediment
3. these two forces work together to transform rocks deep inside Earth's crust
6. thick, solid layer of rock underneath Earth's surface
7. relating to earthquakes
9. outer layer of the Earth, makes up all land and sea floor
10. a crack or fracture in the bedrock
11. entire piece of rock between two fault lines
13. processes by which rock, sand, and soil are broken down and carried away (i.e. weathering, glaciation)
17. rock that has been changed by heat and pressure
