Across
  1. 2. a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of producing magma, which rises to Earth's surface
  2. 4. a fracture in Earth along which movement has occurred
  3. 5. the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake
  4. 6. the process by which plate tectonics produces new oceanic lithosphere at ocean ridges
  5. 10. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
  6. 12. the uneven breakage of a mineral
  7. 14. A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.
  8. 17. rock formed by the alteration of preexisting, solid rock deep within the Earth by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids
  9. 18. the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near Earth's surface
  10. 19. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
  11. 21. A naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals or organic matter
  12. 23. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  13. 24. A liquid's resistance to flowing -or- the thickness of a liquid

Down
  1. 1. the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
  2. 3. The soft upper layer of the mantle just below the lithosphere. Lithospheric plates float on top of it.

  4. 8. The color of a mineral in powdered form
  5. 9. The way a mineral reflects light from its surface
  6. 11. magma that reaches Earth's surface
  7. 13. A natural resource that can be replaced at the same or below rate at which the resource is consumed
  8. 15. loose particles created by weathering and erosion of rock
  9. 16. A natural resource that is consumed faster or above the rate in which it is replaced.
  10. 20. a rock formed by the crystallization of molten magma
  11. 22. the transportation of material by a mobile agent, such as wind, water, or ice
  12. 25. The point beneath Earth's surface where rock breaks under stress and causes an earthquake
