Across
  1. 2. a weak spot in the crust where magma comes to the surface
  2. 5. the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
  3. 6. small piece of rock or other material
  4. 7. changing from a solid to a liquid
  5. 13. a way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
  6. 14. type of rock that forms from the compression of sediments, dirt, or sand
  7. 15. molten rock beneath the Earth's surface
  8. 16. this type of geology studies the physical properties and location of rock and soil found below the ground surface
  9. 17. another way that soil and sediments are transported from one location to another
  10. 18. type of rock that form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth
  11. 20. process in which material is laid down
Down
  1. 1. process where wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another
  2. 3. heat one thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
  3. 4. process where minerals dissolved in water crystallize between sediment grains
  4. 7. type of rock formed from another type of rock being exposed to extreme heat and pressure changing it into another type of rock
  5. 8. are also known as strata when talking about rocks and form over time through processes of the rock cycle
  6. 9. where weathering occurs
  7. 10. forces out water and decreases space between sediments
  8. 11. magma that reaches the Earth's surface
  9. 12. another thing that a rock needs to be exposed to in order to change into a metamorphic rock
  10. 19. cycle model depicting the processes of how one kind of rock can change into another kind of rock
