Across
  1. 4. a measure of how much empty space is in it compared to its overall volume
  2. 5. The movement of broken-down rock and soil by wind, water, and ice.
  3. 7. larger particles, gritty texture
  4. 9. when extreme stress and pressure causes rock to fracture.
  5. 10. when continental plates slide under another.
  6. 12. balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay
  7. 13. The process of sediments being laid down in new locations.
  8. 16. The process where dissolved minerals glue sediments together to form rock.
  9. 18. Magma that has reached the Earth's surface.
  10. 20. The process of turning from solid to liquid, like rock turning into magma.
  11. 22. The process of pressing sediments together under their own weight.
Down
  1. 1. Rock formed from cooled magma or lava.
  2. 2. The process where liquid rock cools and turns into solid crystals.
  3. 3. the pressure in the Earth shifts the layers of rock upward or downward.
  4. 6. Rock that has changed form due to heat and pressure.
  5. 8. is a model that describes how rocks are created, changed, and broken down.
  6. 11. The breaking down of rocks by wind, water, and other natural forces.
  7. 14. Rock formed from compressed and cemented sediments.
  8. 15. Soils that allow water to pass through them quickly are said to be permeable
  9. 17. Melted rock beneath the Earth's surface.
  10. 19. small grains, sticky texture when wet
  11. 21. feels like powder, particles smaller than sand, but larger than clay
