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