Across: |
| 2. | When this is slow you get bigger igneous rock crystals from magma. (7) | | 5. | This means 'sticking together' to make a hard material like grains of sand making sandstone. (11) | | 6. | Add this to limestone and it fizzes. (4) | | 7. | If this doesn't happen, you cannot get rocks from magma or lava! (5) | | 9. | Limestone and sandstone are examples of this kind of rocks. (11) | | 10. | Igneous rock of larger crystals formed from slow cooling magma deep underground. (6, not basalt) | | 11. | The base of Hawaii is mainly formed from small ones formed when lava rapidly cools in the air or sea. (8) | | 14. | Type of igneous rock with larger crystals from slow cooling of magma deep in the Earth. (7) | | 16. | The rate at which rocks get recycled is very (4)? | | 19. | Type of rock made from pre-existing rocks under the action of high temperature and pressure. (11) | | 20. | Compounds of this metal give sedimentary rocks an orange or brown colour. (4) | | 22. | (9)? is a sedimentary rock made from the mineral remains of sea organisms. | | 23. | (5)? is a metamorphic rock used for roofing. | | 25. | Very hot molten rock coming up from the mantle. (5) | | 28. | (6)? is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone. | | 30. | This mode of cooling makes small igneous rock crystals like basalt. (4) | | 31. | It can be very dramatic, dangerous and unpredictable! (7) | | 33. | A kind of sedimentary rock, often red or orange due to iron compounds. (9) | | 34. | Type of rock made from cooled magma or lava. (7) | | 35. | A descriptor that usually means the rock will easily absorb water. (6) |

Down: |
| 1. | When this is high, rocks can be changed into another kind of rock without melting. (11) | | 3. | These make volcanic rocks light and porous (3,7) | | 4. | A rough value for the pressure or temperature to make metamorphic rocks! (4) | | 8. | Molten rock that flows from a volcano. (4) | | 11. | When this happens, water gets squeezed out from between the sand grains. (10) | | 12. | A major component of many igneous rocks, formula SiO2 (6) | | 13. | A type of very crumbly sedimentary rock, often has fossils in it and can have oil in it too. (5) | | 15. | It has a high value deep in the crust. (8) | | 17. | From slower cooling of magma, granite crystals compared to basalt crystals! (6) | | 18. | One way by which sand grains are transported around. (4) | | 19. | It happens to rock deep in the Earth's crust. (5) | | 21. | The whole process! (4,5) | | 23. | Sand grains are this! (5) | | 24. | A light porous volcanic rock. (6) | | 26. | If more than 1.0 the rock material sinks in water. (7) | | 27. | Igneous rock of small crystals from fast cooling lava. (6) | | 29. | This is what volcanoes do best for the tourist?! (5) | | 32. | A tree flung out from volcanoes? (3) |
