Across
- 5. the wearing away of soil or rock by water,wind,ice
- 6. soil formed from the parent material and the same composition
- 7. carbon dioxide in the air combined with water
- 12. rocks formed after water dissolves minerals and are deposited elsewhere
- 13. removes empty spaces between minerals that filter through sediment
- 14. the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks
- 16. layers of the rock pealing the main body of rock
- 17. mechanical or physical breakdown of a rock
- 18. produced rocks by mechanical weathering
Down
- 1. wind water or ice transporting rocks to collide
- 2. currents of air or water separating sediments according to size
- 3. oxygen combined with iron-rich minerals of the rock
- 4. parent material carried from elsewhere
- 7. glues the compacted minerals together by filtering down minerals
- 8. changes of shape and size because of particles colliding together
- 9. material being transported by mediums
- 10. action
- 11. rocks formed after extracting chemical components from shells and other body parts of water
- 12. chemicals break down rock by the change in composition
- 15. water combines with minerals to form clay that weakens and crumbles
