Across
  1. 3. pieces of rock collide with each other due to transportation by wind, water, ice, and gravity
  2. 5. That material will end up being transported by those mediums, and ultimately deposited in a different landmass
  3. 6. the process of gluing the compacted minerals together by minerals that filter down the sediment
  4. 8. Weathering the mechanical or physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces(sediments)
  5. 10. jaggedness of rock
  6. 11. water combines with minerals such as mica and feldspar found in granite, to form clay, the rock weakens and crumbles apart
  7. 12. wearing away of soil or rock by water, wind or ice
  8. 13. Weathering the process by which chemicals break down rock through a change in the mineral’s composition, happens faster in hot, moist climate
  9. 15. dome layers of the rock that peel off the main body of the rock
  10. 17. occurs when oxygen from the air combines with iron-rich minerals of the rock
  11. 19. soil soil is formed from the parent material and is the same deposited
  12. 20. the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size
Down
  1. 1. the process of removing empty spaces between minerals by the weight of the overlying sediment
  2. 2. sedimentary action of organisms as they build shells and other body parts by extracting chemical components from the water in which they live
  3. 4. the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces
  4. 7. soil parent material has been carried from elsewhere and deposited
  5. 9. occurs when water combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form carbonic acid
  6. 14. formed when water dissolves minerals and deposits them elsewhere
  7. 16. produced by mechanical weathering and are classified by grain size, sorting, angulairty
  8. 18. action water freezes in a crack of the rock surface, expanding and splitting the rock
