In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• describe the structure of Earth in terms of its major layers: crust, mantle, inner core, and outer core (5.8 a)

• model the movements of plates at tectonic boundaries (divergent, convergent, and transform), explain how the movement of tectonic plates relates to the changing surface of Earth, and describe the benefits and limitations of the models created (5.8 b)
