SES6Life Shaping Earth's Systems
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how life on Earth responds to and shapes Earth's systems.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SES6.aConstruct an argument from evidence that describes how life has responded to major events in Earth's history (e.g., major climatic change, tectonic events) through extinction, migration, and/or adaptation.
SES6.bConstruct an explanation that describes how biological processes have caused major changes in Earth's systems through geologic time (e.g., nutrient cycling, atmospheric composition, and soil formation).
SES6.cAsk questions to investigate and communicate how humans depend on Earth's land and water resources, which are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geological and environmental processes.
SES6.dAnalyze and interpret data that relates changes in global climate to natural and anthropogenic modification of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.
