Down: |
| 2. | Rocks do this on cooling. (8) | | 3. | These kind of rock grains settle out first and are not transported as far as smaller ones! (6) | | 4. | Sometimes contains fossil 'swampy' trees and giant ferns. (4) | | 5. | Formed from deposits of the hard mineral remains of sea organisms.

(7) | | 11. | This kind of rain produces the quickest erosion, beware limestone, though you don't see it fizzing because its very slow!
