Describe how rocks undergo weathering
4. explain how the products of weathering are carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere
5. make a report on how rocks and soil move downslope due to the direct action of gravity
6. describe where the earth’s internal heat comes from.
7. describe how magma is formed (magmatism)
8. describe what happens after the magma is formed (plutonism and volcanism)
9. describe the changes in mineral components and texture of rocks due to changes in pressure and temperature (metamorphism)
10. compare and contrast the formation of the different types of igneous rocks
11. describe how rocks behave under different types of stress such as compression, pulling apart, and shearing
12. explain how the continents drift
13. cite evidence that support continental drift
14. explain how the movement of plates leads to the formation of folds and faults
15. explain how the seafloor spreads
16. describe the structure and evolution of ocean basins
17. describe how layers of rocks (stratified rocks) are formed
18. describe the different methods (relative and absolute dating) to determine the age of stratified rocks
19. explain how relative and absolute dating were used to determine the subdivisions of geologic time
20. describe how marker fossils (also known as guide fossils) are used to define and identify subdivisions of the geologic time scale
21. describe how the earth’s history can be interpreted from the geologic time scale
2. using hazard maps, identify areas prone to hazards brought about by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides
3. give practical ways of coping with geological hazards caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides
4. identify human activities that speed up or trigger landslides
5. suggest ways to help lessen the occurrence of landslides in your community
6. describe the various hazards that may happen in the wake of tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo
7. using hazard maps, identify areas prone to hazards brought about by tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipo-ipo
8. give practical ways of coping with hydrometeorological hazards caused by tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, or ipoipo
9. describe how coastal processes result in coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion
10. identify areas in your community prone to coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion
11. give practical ways of coping with coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion
12. cite ways to prevent or mitigate the impact of land development, waste disposal, and construction of structures on control coastal processes
