Rapid earth changes
Science · Space Systems & Earth's History · conceptual
Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or slowly (erosion, mountain building)
What mastery looks like
- Give at least two examples of rapid Earth events (earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, flood)
- Give at least two examples of slow Earth processes (erosion, mountain formation, canyon carving)
- Use evidence from text, images, or video to support the distinction between fast and slow changes
Check your understanding
Can Rapid earth changes give examples of things that change the Earth quickly, like an earthquake, and things that change it very slowly, like a river carving a valley?
