🔬 Grade 6 • 🌍 Plate Tectonics and Earth Systems
Plate Tectonics and Earth Systems
Use evidence from rocks, fossils, seafloor patterns, and landforms to explain that Earth’s surface changes over time because of moving plates and interacting systems.
📋 What You'll Learn
- 1 Explain that Earth’s surface changes over different time and size scales
- 2 Use evidence for the movement of tectonic plates
- 3 Connect earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and ocean features to plate interactions
- 4 Describe how Earth’s layers and internal movement contribute to surface change
