LAC 28:CXXIII.1705. Earth’s Systems

A. Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth’s systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity. B. Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interaction of air masses results in changes in weather conditions. C. Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth causes patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
