  2. 8. hard solid nonmetallic mineral matter of which rock is made, especially as a building material.
  3. 9. a compact grainy rock composed of quartz and made from sandstone by the earth's heat and pressure
  4. 10. relating to or denoting rock that has been extruded at the earth's surface as lava or other volcanic deposits.
  5. 11. a naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties.
  6. 17. waste or debris of any kind.
  7. 19. a naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be profitably extracted.
  8. 21. a hard sedimentary rock, composed mainly of calcium carbonate or dolomite, used as building material and in the making of cement.

  1. 1. stone used in its natural form.
  2. 2. a loose aggregation of small water-worn or pounded stones.
  3. 3. a limestone or marble rich in magnesium carbonate.
  4. 4. the exertion of force on something so that it becomes more dense.
  5. 5. a body that is formed by the solidification of a chemical element, a compound, or a mixture and has a regularly repeating internal arrangement of its atoms and often external plane faces.
  6. 6. a dark, fine-grained volcanic rock that sometimes displays a columnar structure. It is typically composed largely of plagioclase with pyroxene and olivine.

  10. 15. matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid; dregs.
  11. 16. any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity
  12. 18. a small stone made smooth and round by the action of water or sand.t
  13. 20. the solid mineral material forming part of the surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans.
  14. 22. the action or process of forcing a body of igneous rock between or through existing formations, without reaching the surface.
