Across
- 3. Is a natural science that studies of celestial objects.
- 6. States that our planets and moons were wandering around in space and were captured by the gravity of our sun, and the moon were captured by the planets.
- 9. Rocks that form from the magma that rises and cooled in the surface of earth.
- 11. Proposes that the universe could collapse to the state where it began and then initiate another big bang.
- 14. Sediments is transported from its place of origin by running water,wind, and glaciers.
- 19. It is a continental building process.
- 21. Second planet in the solar system.
- 26. Study of rocks, their classification and their history.
- 27. All processes that move, elevate, or build up portions of the earth’s crust came under to it.
- 29. It is the building blocks of the rocks.
- 30. Formed as a result of repeated flooding and evaporation.
- 32. According to it the sun and its planets supposedly condensed out of swirling eddies of cold, dark, interstellar clouds of gas and dust.
- 34. It is the hottest solid layer of the earth.
- 37. Rocks that form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
- 38. The internal and external forces causing stresses and chemical action on earth materials and bringing about changes in the configuration of the surface of the earth.
- 39. Any rock that subjected to more intense pressure or heat and as a result underwent a complete change.
- 43. Processes depend on some applied forces.
- 44. Rocks that form when a magma cools within earth’s crust.
- 47. This model asserts that the general character of the universe is not changing over time.
- 48. It is the fourth planet in the solar system.
- 50. States that the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point roughly 15 billion years ago.
Down
- 1. It is the one that protects us from solar winds.
- 2. Cause by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again and then heating, rising and repeating the cycle over and over.
- 4. Theorizes that our world is said to have collided with small planet, which threw off rocks that formed our moon.
- 5. It is not solid, it is not liquid but it moves very slowly.
- 7. Occurs when a rock came in contact with a heat source (usually a magma body).
- 8. Branch of astronomy involving the scientific study of the large scale properties of the universe as a whole.
- 10. Rocks that form from the compaction and cementation of sediments.
- 12. Processes derive their energy from atmosphere determined by the ultimate energy from the sun and also the gradients created by tectonic factors.
- 13. It is so hot that the metals in it are all in liquid state.
- 15. Caused by several biological activities like growth or movements of organisms.
- 16. Composed of clasts on little pieces of broken-up rock which are joined together as a result of compaction and cementation.
- 17. If it is present to a planet life is possible.
- 18. Rocks that formed from organic materials.
- 20. Occurs when a rock undergo increased temperatures and pressures.
- 22. Breaking down of rocks.
- 23. Geological processes that occur beneath the surface of the earth.
- 24. Says that our sun burst one day, and all our planets came from it.
- 25. The origin of our entire solar system suggests that our planets, moon, and the sun all spun off from a collision between stars.
- 28. It includes the weathering, mass movements, erosion, and transportation.
- 31. Movement of molten rock (magma) toward the earth’s surface.
- 33. Can be due to solution, carbonation, hydration, or oxidation/reduction.
- 35. It is the third planet in the solar system.
- 36. Clastic sediments are deposited when the velocity of the tranporting medium drops.
- 40. It is the center of our solar system.
- 41. Thickest layer of the earth.
- 42. It is the galaxy where our solar system is located.
- 45. Thinnest layer of the earth.
- 46. It is the planet next to the sun.
- 49. It is a mountain building process.
