Across
- 7. – day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere in an area
- 9. – the process of water changing from water vapor to a liquid by loss of heat
- 10. – process by which overlying pressure from sediment layers press materials down
- 11. – a huge ball of gasses around which the Earth and other planets of the solar system revolve
- 12. – water that falls to the Earth’s surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
- 13. – general pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time
- 14. – process by which exposed rock is broken down by rain, frost, wind, or other elements of weather
- 15. – process by which sediment is deposited by wind, water, and ice
Down
- 1. – process of binding and hardening of sediments into hard rock
- 2. – the process of water changing from a liquid to water vapor by adding heat
- 3. – rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together
- 4. – the movement of weathered material by wind, water, or ice
- 5. – the process by which dead plants and animals decay or rot
- 6. – the air that surrounds the Earth; it is made of a mixture of gasses
- 8. cycle – the change of water from one state to another as it moves between Earth’s surfaces to the atmosphere
