SC-07-2.3.1 – Students will make inferences and predictions related to changes in the Earth’s surface or atmosphere based on data/evidence.
The Earth’s processes we see today, including erosion, movement of lithospheric plates and changes in atmospheric composition, are predictable and similar to those that occurred in the past. Analysis of evidence from Earth’s history substantiates the conclusion that the planet has also been influenced by occasional catastrophes such as the impact of an asteroid or comet.
