Standard II - Earth Surface
Standard: Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earth’s surface.
Objective 1: Describe how weathering and erosion
change Earth’s surface.
Objective 2: Explain
how volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift affect Earth's surface.
Objective 3: Relate
the building up and breaking down of Earth's surface over time to the various
physical land features.

The Earth's surface is constantly changing. Some changes happen very slowly over long periods of time, such as weathering, erosion, and uplift. Other changes happen abruptly, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. All around us, we see the visible effects of building up and breaking down of the Earth's surface.
