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