- 14. Igneous rock that has medium sized crystal grains.
- 16. igneous rock A type of rock that forms as a result of volcanic activity at or near the Earth's surface; cools fast, crystals won't last.

Down
- 1. The process of wind, water & ice breaking down rock.
- 3. The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers.
- 5. The process of wind, water & ice transporting soil & sediment from one location to another.
- 6. Change in the structure of something.
- 7. To become crystallized again.
- 11. The chemical makeup of a rock; describes either the minerals or other materials in the rock; the "ingredients" of something.
- 12. gneous rock A type of Rock formed from the cooling & solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface; cools slow, crystals will grow.
- 13. rock Type of rock formed by sediments compacting & cementing together.
- 14. rock Type of rock formed from another type of rock being exposed to extreme heat & pressure changing it into another type of rock.
- 15. The process in which material is laid down or dropped.
