7. | liquid rock on Earth's crust |
10. | igneous rock produced by eruption and solidified on or near the earth's surface |
13. | a sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcium that was deposited by the remains of marine animals |
14. | shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity |
15. | a fine-grained metamorphic rock that can be split into thin layers |
16. | condition in which the earth's surface is worn away by the action of water and wind |
17. | molten rock generated within the earth |

32. | the gradual movement and formation of continents (as described by plate tectonics) |
33. | igneous- very light gray to a medium gray- contains a large number of gas bubbles each surrounded by a thin layer of volcanic glass- looks something like a sponge- very light weight- most pieces will float in water- flow lines or bands may show |

35. | plutonic igneous rock having visibly crystalline texture |
36. | the middle layer of the earth and is found just below the crust |
37. | forms when sand, mud, and pebbles at the bottom of rivers and oceans pile up and cement together |
