5-3 The student will demonstrate an understanding of features, processes, and changes in Earth’s land and oceans. (Earth Science) Key Concepts: Constructive processes: deposition, volcanic eruptions, floods Destructive processes: weathering (physical or chemical), erosion, landslides, earthquakes, floods Ocean floor landforms: continental shelf, continental slope, mid-ocean ridge, rift zone, trench, ocean basin Ocean shore zone features: beaches, shoreline, barrier islands, estuaries, inlets Water movement: waves, crest, trough; currents, surface currents, warm surface currents, cold surface currents; tides, high tide, low tide Indicators 5-3.1 Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earth’s oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways. Taxonomy Level: 2.7-B Understand Conceptual Knowledge Previous/Future knowledge: Students in 3rd grade (3-3.8) developed an understanding of changes in Earth’s surface features due to slow processes (including weathering, erosion, and deposition) and those changes due to rapid features (landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods and earthquakes). The primary focus was to provide examples of such changes. Students in 5th grade are to relate the effects of these natural processes on Earth’s oceans and land in both constructive and destructive ways. It is essential for students to know Earth’s oceans and land can be affected in constructive ways and destructive ways by natural processes. Constructive Processes that create landforms Destructive Processes that destroy landforms Natural processes that can affect Earth’s oceans include Weathering Weathering is a general term used to describe processes that break down rocks at or near the surface of the earth. Weathering can be either physical or chemical. These processes cause the surface of the earth to dissolve, decompose, and break into smaller pieces. Water
