Across
- 6. loose or broken rock layers resulting from weathering; covers most of Earth
- 7. Fine-grained
- 8. different pressures, unequal
- 11. uppermost layer of regolith that supports life
- 12. Rocks altered; new form; different physical properties
- 13. rocks change form through a solid state transformation
- 15. formed from solidifying magma
- 16. Coarse-grained
- 18. composed of animal and plant remains
- 20. minerals making up a rock
- 21. Inorganic grains
Down
- 1. appearance of rock
- 2. processing which sediment is transformed into sedimentary rock
- 3. Broken down without changing physical properties
- 4. pre-existing rocks subjected to pressure and temperature relationships
- 5. Physical and Chemical breakdown of rock- exposed to wind, water, ice, & living organisms
- 9. formed from Weathering of pre-existing rocks
- 10. high heat/low pressure, localized, "fast acting" like touching a frying pan
- 14. subjected to intense stresses and strains; high heat/high pressure, widespread, like a sunburn
- 17. formed by precipitation of mineral dissolved in seawater environments
- 19. heat transfer takes place through solids
