What This Book Teaches Best
It explains how divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries shape Earth’s surface and connect to mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
It shows how rocks change through weathering, erosion, deposition, melting, cooling, heat, and pressure in the rock cycle.
It teaches how scientists identify rocks and minerals by properties such as hardness, streak, transparency, luster, cleavage, fracture, and specific gravity.
It introduces geological time by connecting rock layers, fossils, eons, eras, and periods.
Learning Goals
Students will describe how different plate boundaries cause changes in Earth’s crust.
Students will explain how one rock type can change into another in the rock cycle.
Students will identify several properties used to classify rocks and minerals.
Students will explain how fossils and rock layers help scientists organize geological time.
Students will use domain vocabulary to talk about Earth’s structure and changes over time.
