Across
- 4. 2 things or events happening together or at the same time, but not causing one another
- 6. loose earth materials, such as sand, soil, and rocks, found on the surface of the Earth
- 7. the process where sediment is pressed together
- 12. valuable minerals found in rock layers that are extracted through different processes
- 13. how much an area of land is pushed up over time
- 14. the process where sediment is moved to a new location
- 15. the process where sediments are "glued" together
Down
- 1. at type of rock that forms when an existing rock undergoes intense heat and pressure
- 2. the time taken for the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
- 3. a type of rock that formed when layers of sediment are compressed by heavy layers of sediment above
- 5. to build up (divergent plate boundary is an example)
- 7. the reason something has occurred or is occurring
- 8. a type of rock that forms when magma or lava cools
- 9. to cause damage or destroy (convergent plate boundary is an example)
- 10. solid rock found everywhere on the Earth, often under sediments, such as soil, sand, dirt, and broken rocks
- 11. the process where rocks are broken down into sediment
