C. Describe interactions of matter and
energy throughout the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere (e.g., water
cycle, weather, and pollution). |
1.a Explain the biogeochemical cycles which
move materials between the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water) and
atmosphere (air). 1.b Diagram the physical structure of the
atmosphere. 2. Explain the Earth’s
capacity to absorb and recycle materials naturally (e.g., smoke, smog and
sewage) can change the environmental quality depending on the length of time
involved (e.g., global warming). 3. Diagram the water cycle and
explain the transfer of energy between the atmosphere and hydrosphere. 4.a Analyze data on the availability of
fresh water that is essential for life and for most industrial and
agricultural processes. Describe how rivers, lakes and groundwater can be
depleted or polluted becoming less hospitable to life and even becoming
unavailable or unsuitable for life. 4.b Evaluate the methods used to map the
ocean floor and its features. 4.c Compare and contrast ocean and fresh
water. 4.d Identify the main features of the ocean
floor. 4.e Illustrate water movement in the ocean. 4.f Explain the cause and effects of
high and low tides. 5.a Make simple weather predictions based
on the changing cloud types associated with frontal systems. 5.b Identify the causes of wind and the
earths wind system. 5.c identify types of air mass. 6. Determine how weather
observations and measurements are combined to produce weather maps and that
data for a specific location at one point in time can be displayed in a
station model. 7.a Use a weather map to interpret local,
regional and national weather. 7.b Use his/her knowledge to predict
weather-using weather maps. 8. Describe how temperature and
precipitation determine climatic zones (biomes) (e.g., desert, grasslands,
forests, tundra and alpine). 9. Analyze the connection between
the water cycle and weather-related
phenomenon (e.g., tornadoes, floods, droughts and hurricanes). |
