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