Day1
Quiz 0.0 Intro
2.1.1a Explain the rock cycle in enough detail to relate the cycling of materials - formation and destruction of the three major rock types to the forces responsible: physical and chemical weathering, heat and pressure, deposition, foliation and bedding. The forms of energy that drive the rock cycle include heat and mechanical (gravitational potential) energy.

Day 3
2.1.1b Explain how various mechanisms (mantle convection, ridge push, gravity pull) drive movement of the lithospheric plates. 2.1.1c Infer the relationship between the type of plate boundary and the locations of various features such as ocean trenches, mountain ranges and mid-ocean ridges. (Relate to the development of the theory of plate tectonics and geologic time.)

Day 4
Quiz 2.1P1 Lithosphere
2.1.1d Compare magma and lava. Locate volcanoes and relate back to plate boundaries. Explain volcanic effects on the lithosphere and relate back to plate boundaries (convergent, divergent, transform) including lahar (mud) flows and ash in the atmosphere.

Day 5
2.1.1e Describe the anatomy of an earthquake. Locate earthquakes – epicenter and focal point – and relate to different types of plate boundaries. Explain how the release of energy of various types of earthquakes relates to magnitude, and P and S waves.
earthquake epicenter focal point magnitude P wave (primary) S wave (secondary)
Day 6
2.1.1f Summarize the major events in the geologic history of North Carolina and the southeastern United States. Explain how current geologic landforms developed such as Appalachian Mountains, fall zone, shorelines, barrier islands, valleys, river basins, etc. using the geologic time scale. 2.1.1g Explain how processes change sea-level over time—long- and short-term. Infer the effects on landforms such as shorelines and barrier islands.

Day 7
2.1.4a Conclude the best location for various types of development to reduce impacts by geohazards and protect property. 2.1.4b Explain precautions that can be made to protect life from various geohazards and include meteorological hazards. Some examples include landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, sinkholes, groundwater pollution, and flooding.
Day 8
2.1.3a Recall that soil is the result of weathering of rocks and includes weathered particles: sand, silt and clay.

Day 9
Quiz 2.1P2 Lithosphere
2.1.2b Explain differences in chemical and physical weathering and how weathering rates are affected by a variety of factors including climate, topography and rock composition. 2.1.3c Compare erosion by water, wind, ice, and gravity and the effect on various landforms.
