HIGHLIGHT the SKILLS that students need to be able to do and UNDERLINE the CONCEPTS that students need to know. S6E5.Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth s surface is formed. f. Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans (composition, currents, and tides) g. Describe how fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate of the Earth h: Describe soil as consisting of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material.

KNOW/UNDERSTAND Essential Question/Enduring Understanding: What are the characteristics of weathering, and how does weathering differ from erosion? What is meant by weathering? How many different kinds of weathering processes are there? How are weathering and erosion different? How are weathering and erosion related? How do fossils show evidence of change in earth s surface? What is soil? How does the process of weathering contribute to soil? Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks and other substances at Earth s surface. Erosion is the movement of rock particles by water and wind. Deposition occurs where the agents (forces) of erosion lay down sediment. Weathering and erosion wear down, and deposition fills in the Earth s surface. Fossils, the remains of organisms preserved in sedimentary rocks, are part of the evidence scientists use to infer changing conditions at t he earth s surface through time Rocks at the earth s surface weather, forming sediments that are buried, then compacted, heated, and often re-crystallized into new rock. Although weathered rock is the basic component of soil, the composition and texture of soil and its fertility and resistance to erosion are greatly influenced by plants and other organisms.
