CS.5 Structure of the Earth System

Standards

Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > G.7 > Earth/Space Science > S.5

Structures of the Earth System - The earth is mostly rock, three-fourths of its surface is covered by a relatively thin layer of water, and the entire planet is surrounded by a relatively thin blanket of air, and is able to support life. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

Global patterns of atmospheric movement influence local weather such as oceans' effect on climate (e.g., sea breezes, land breezes, ocean currents). Clouds, formed by the condensation of water vapor, affect local weather and climate.

The solid crust of the earth consists of separate plates that move very slowly pressing against one another in some places and pulling apart in other places (i.e., volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain creation).
