LAC 28:XI.9756. Earth’s Systems

A. Identify relationships between components in a model showing the cycling of energy flows and matter within and among Earth’s systems, including the sun and Earth’s interior as primary energy sources. B. Identify examples of processes to explain that change Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales that can be large (e.g., plate motions) or small (e.g., landslides). C. Using graphical displays of data, identify how the shapes of the continents (e.g., fit like a jigsaw puzzle) and fossil comparisons (e.g., fit together) along the edges of continents to demonstrate lithospheric plate movement.
