Across
  1. 3. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake.
  2. 6. The uneven breakage of a mineral.
  3. 7. Rock formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted and cemented.
  4. 8. A naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition.
  5. 12. A rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma.
  6. 13. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed.
  7. 15. The color of a mineral in powdered form.
  8. 17. A concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface.
  9. 18. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.
  10. 19. A fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred.
  11. 20. The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near Earth's surface.
  12. 21. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter.
  13. 22. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
  14. 23. The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  15. 24. The way a mineral reflects light from its surface.
  16. 25. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
  17. 26. Rock formed by alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids.
Down
  1. 1. Loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock.
  2. 2. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  3. 4. Magma that reaches Earth's surface.
  4. 5. The process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges.
  5. 9. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.
  6. 10. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  7. 11. The transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice.
  8. 14. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid.
  9. 16. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions.
