LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

ESS.2.4 Develop and use a model ​ to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales ​ . ​ Emphasize how the appearance of land and seafloor features are a result of both constructive forces and destructive mechanisms. Examples of constructive forces could include tectonic uplift or mountain building. Examples of destructive mechanisms could include weathering or mass wasting. (ESS2.B)
