Earth Systems

Earth Systems, Structures and Processes

6.E.2 Understand the structure of the earth and how interactions of constructive

and destructive forces have resulted in changes in the surface of the Earth over time

and the effects of the lithosphere on humans.

6.E.2.1 Summarize the structure of the earth, including the layers, the mantle and core

based on the relative position, composition and density.

6.E.2.2 Explain how crustal plates and ocean basins are formed, move and interact using

earthquakes, heat flow and volcanoes to reflect forces within the earth.

6.E.2.3 Explain how the formation of soil is related to the parent rock type and the

environment in which it develops.

6.E.2.4 Conclude that the good health of humans requires: monitoring the lithosphere,

maintaining soil quality and stewardship.
