The student knows that there are recognizable patterns and processes on Earth.
Content
The student is expected to model and identify how changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes.

Earth & Space - Earth's Changing Surface
2.10.A investigate and describe how wind and water move soil and rock particles across the Earth's surface such as wind blowing sand into dunes on a beach or a river carrying rocks as it flows;
3.10.C model and describe rapid changes in Earth's surface such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides.
4.10.B model and describe slow changes to Earth's surface caused by weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice;
7.10.A describe the evidence that supports that Earth has changed over time, including fossil evidence, plate tectonics, and superposition;
7.10.B describe how plate tectonics causes ocean basin formation, earthquakes, mountain building, and volcanic eruptions, including supervolcanoes and hot spots
8.11.A use scientific evidence to describe how natural events, including volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, abrupt changes in ocean currents, and the release and absorption of greenhouse gases influence climate
