Demonstrate understanding of how forces,
waves, and energy influence the tectonic activity, weathering and erosion of
your chosen location.
Umbrella Question: How does the
transfer of energy alter systems?
Enduring Understanding: Forces, waves and
energy influence the geosphere, past, present and future.
Topical Understandings:
- Forces, waves and energy influence
changes in the geosphere through tectonic activity.
- Forces, waves and energy influence
changes in the geosphere through weathering and erosion.
Essential Questions:
- If we know it, can we control it (should we
control it)? Can we predict?
- Plate Movement: Good or Bad?
- Should man manage the forces of nature? To
what extent? How do we determine to what extent?
