(9) Earth and space. The student knows that natural events can impact Earth systems. The student is
expected to:
(A) describe the historical development of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory;
(B) relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features; and
(C) interpret topographic maps and satellite views to identify land and erosional features and
predict how these features may be reshaped by weathering.
