Earth Science
The major units of study in earth science this year include the water cycle, weathering and erosion, tectonic plate movement and changes of the Earth over time. As we examine how the Earth's resources form and are changed over time, we will see how they are important to humans and all of the natural world.
Geoscience Processes
How can mountains get shorter? In this unit, you should be able to explain based on evidence how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface. These changes would happen at different time and space scales. Some geoscience processes are large scale processes. Some are small scale processes. Use the links below to help you investigate these and review your learning.
