Across
- 4. a measure of how much empty space is in it compared to its overall volume
- 5. The movement of broken-down rock and soil by wind, water, and ice.
- 7. larger particles, gritty texture
- 9. when extreme stress and pressure causes rock to fracture.
- 10. when continental plates slide under another.
- 12. balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay
- 13. The process of sediments being laid down in new locations.
- 16. The process where dissolved minerals glue sediments together to form rock.
- 18. Magma that has reached the Earth's surface.
- 20. The process of turning from solid to liquid, like rock turning into magma.

Down
- 1. Rock formed from cooled magma or lava.
- 2. The process where liquid rock cools and turns into solid crystals.
- 3. the pressure in the Earth shifts the layers of rock upward or downward.
- 6. Rock that has changed form due to heat and pressure.
- 8. is a model that describes how rocks are created, changed, and broken down.
- 11. The breaking down of rocks by wind, water, and other natural forces.
- 14. Rock formed from compressed and cemented sediments.
- 15. Soils that allow water to pass through them quickly are said to be permeable
- 17. Melted rock beneath the Earth's surface.
- 19. small grains, sticky texture when wet
- 21. feels like powder, particles smaller than sand, but larger than clay
