  2. 6. The way a mineral reflects light from its surface
  3. 7. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  4. 9. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
  5. 10. the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near Earth's surface
  6. 11. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
  7. 13. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  8. 14. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
  9. 15. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred

  10. 19. magma that reaches Earth's surface
  11. 23. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
  12. 24. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
