Rocks and the Rock Cycle

3. magma that reaches the Earth's surface
5. where weathering occurs
8. this type of geology studies the physical properties and location of rock and soil found below the ground surface
10. the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
13. type of rock formed from another type of rock being exposed to extreme heat and pressure changing it into another type of rock
15. process where minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains
16. type of rock that form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth
17. heat one thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
18. another way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
19. forces out water and decreases space between sediments
20. a weak spot in the crust where magma comes to the surface

1. known as strata when talking about rocks and form over time through process of the rock cycle
2. molten rock beneath the Earth's surface
4. process in which material is laid down
6. another thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
7. type of rock that forms from the compression of sediments, dirt, or sand
9. small piece of rock or other material
11. process where wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
12. a way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
13. changing from a solid to a liquid
14. cycle model depicting the processes of how one kind of rock can change into another kind of rock
