Students discover the driving forces behind earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building. Their discovery focuses on the relationship between two parts of the Earth’s surface: the asthenosphere and lithosphere.
- Compare the proposed appearance of the Earth’s surface over the course of 4.5 billion years.
- Investigate how the theories of Continental Drift, Plate Tectonic, and fossil evidence explain changes to the surface of the Earth
- Explore how divergent, convergent and transform tectonic plate boundaries drive the formation and destruction of the Earth’s crust.
- Discover the mechanism responsible for tectonic plate movement.
- Analyze how mid-oceanic ridges and subduction zones constantly remodel the Earth’s surface.
- Evaluate evidence of the effects of weathering and erosion, including interpretation of maps to to describe patterns of the Earth’s topography.
- Describe the Earth’s natural resources are related to changes in the Earth and changes in the environment
- Generate solutions to reduce the impact of natural Earth processes on humans
