Fast & Slow Earth Changes
Science · Volcanoes & Earthquakes · conceptual
Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock)
What mastery looks like
- Give an example of a quick change to Earth's surface like a volcanic eruption
- Give an example of a slow change to Earth's surface like erosion by wind or water
- Compare quick and slow changes and explain the difference
Check your understanding
If you point out a cliff being worn away by waves, can Fast & Slow Earth Changes explain that this happens slowly, while a volcanic eruption or earthquake changes the land quickly?
