Across
- 2. rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma on or below Earth’s surface
- 7. The breakdown of rock by chemical reactions
- 10. is a change in state from a gas or liquid to a solid
- 11. water located underground that fills pore spaces in soil and rock layers
- 13. While gravity pulls the water droplets downward, a force acts on the droplets in the________direction.
- 14. forms when magma slowly hardens below Earth's surface
- 15. the continuous set of processes by which rock can change from one type to another; a model of how the flow of energy drives the cycling of rock material in the geosphere
- 16. the process by which surface water flows downhill into rivers, lakes, and the ocean
- 17. a solid structure made of atoms arranged in a repeating geometric pattern
- 19. igneous rock that forms when magma cools quickly on Earth's surface
Down
- 1. rock changed in composition or texture by heat and pressure
- 3. the process by which water falls to the ground from clouds in the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail
- 4. the global movement of water powered by energy from the sun and Earth’s gravity
- 5. the change in state from a gas to a liquid
- 6. rock formed from the deposition of dissolved materials, rock fragments, or the remains of organisms
- 8. the change in state from a liquid to a gas
- 9. a substance that is made of crystals and has a specific chemical composition and a specific geometric shape
- 12. As the rock deforms, its crystals change shape, often becoming longer and thinner
- 18. Crystallization occurs when the air temperature falls below______________________.
