This standard asks you to show you understand how Earth's surface is shaped and changes over time. You need to explain the main natural processes (like plate tectonics, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and weathering) that shape our landscape, and describe the features of Earth's surface (like climate, oceans, rock types, fossils, and geothermal activity) that change as time passes.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Use correct science vocabulary to identify and describe the features of Earth's surface (such as climate, atmosphere, ice caps, oceans, rocks, minerals, fossils, and geothermal areas) and explain how they change over time
- ·Identify and explain the main natural processes that shape Earth's surface, specifically: plate tectonics theory, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, weathering, erosion, and the effects of human activities like pollution, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels
- ·Write or present your understanding clearly in a scientific format (such as a report, an annotated diagram, or a newspaper article) that demonstrates your own knowledge
You correctly identify and describe some of Earth's surface features and name the main natural processes that shape it, using some science vocabulary.
You clearly explain how Earth's surface features change over time and describe how both natural processes and human activities shape Earth, using accurate science language throughout.
