  1. 1. weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones
  2. 3. allowing liquids or gasses to pass through it
  3. 6. there are 3 major rock that make up the rock cycle metamorphic, igneous, sedimentary
  4. 7. is the separation of thin shells or spalls from massive rocks like granite or basalt
  5. 9. is where a rock gets broken down by the pressure of water freezing the rock and breaks it
  6. 12. Action is when mechanical weathering happens animals dig around into the ground and loosen soil
  7. 13. they reach down into the ground for minerals for their own growth
  8. 14. is rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes
  9. 15. is the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide to give carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbonic acid
  10. 16. the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.
  11. 18. is the process of rubbing, scouring, or scraping the partials of a rock into little bits of rocks then they are eroded away
Down
  1. 2. weathering is where chemical reaction happen to rocks like if iron and water combine it becomes rust
  2. 4. it is a theory changes the earths crust during different amounts of history that results in the action of continuing the uniform processes
  3. 5. the process where wind, water eroded things like soil, rocks, etc
  4. 8. the process or result of oxidizing or being oxidized.
  5. 10. it is the process of being broken down long periods of time
  6. 11. is the scientific study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time.
  7. 17. is an association between one or two fungus species and an alga or cyanobacterium
