Earth and Space Science
Explain the processes that shape Earth’s surface. Understand how heating and cooling affect the weathering of Earth’s surfaces and Earth’s past environments.
Vocabulary: landforms, earthquake, volcano, glacial movement, weathering, erosion, deposition, fossil
Earth’s Surface-

Earth’s Surface-
I CAN:
- identify and describe the layers of the Earth and compare them to a familiar object.
- describe the amount of water that covers the Earth, and compare % of fresh vs. salt.
- tell the amount of fresh water and identify ways to conserve it.
- define a variety of land forms and give examples.
- use a variety of maps and photographs to understand common land forms and their features.
- identify the processes that can change the surface of the Earth (erosion, deposition, volcanic activity, earthquakes, glacial movement, weathering).
- connect the processes that continually build up or tear down the earth to the resulting landforms.
- draw conclusions by observing nature, experiments, or virtual examples to explain how weathering occurs at different rates depending on the characteristics of the rocks or exposure to different weathering factors.
- identify differences between erosion (carrying away) and weathering (breaking down) and explain gravity’s role in erosion.
- identify differences between erosion (destructive) and deposition (construction) anduse topographic maps, aerial photographs, and surficial geology maps to locate erosional and depositional areas in Ohio.
