Expectations

SG5.a
Ask questions to understand the effects of regional climate on weathering processes and soil formation.
SG5.b
Construct an argument from evidence to explain how sedimentary rock formation and chemical weathering changes greenhouse gas concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere.
SG5.c
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to characterize the formation of landforms in desert and glacial environments. (Clarification statement: Information sources should include, geologic maps, topographic maps, cross-sectional maps, and remote sensing data.)
SG5.d
Develop and use models to examine the erosional and depositional features of various coastal systems
SG5.e
Plan and carry out an investigation to analyze how surface water and groundwater act as major agents of change in fluvial systems. (Clarification statement: Include surface reservoirs, groundwater reservoirs, and fluvial systems, as well as the processes of infiltration, runoff, evaporation, and precipitation.)
