Expectations

SO2.a
Analyze and interpret geologic data to describe how the Earth’s ocean basins, ocean and atmosphere were formed.
SO2.b
Construct an argument from evidence to support the role of plate tectonics in shaping the physical features of the ocean and continents.
SO2.c
Analyze and interpret data to understand how the dynamic events at plate boundaries influence the physical features of oceans and continents. (Clarification statement: Events such as tsunamis and earthquakes should be included in this element.)
SO2.d
Develop and use models to investigate geological features from the continental margins to the deep ocean basins. (Clarification statement: Models should provide scale information about the features being represented.)
SO2.e
Ask questions to classify the sources of different types of marine sediments.
