NGSS Standards covered in this unit
ESS 2-1 Develop a model to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features.
ESS 2-3 Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection.
ESS 1-5 Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks.
PS 4-1 Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media
