STANDARD E3: THE SOLID EARTH
Students explain how scientists study and model the interior of the Earth and its dynamic nature. They use the theory of plate
tectonics, the unifying theory of geology, to explain a wide variety of Earth features and processes and how hazards resulting from
these processes impact society.

E3.1 Advanced Rock Cycle

Rocks and Minerals - Teams will demonstrate their knowledge of rocks and minerals.
E3.2 Interior of the Earth Oceanography - Students will use process skills to complete tasks related to physical and geological oceanography.
E3.3 Plate Tectonics Theory

Oceanography - Students will use process skills to complete tasks related to physical and geological oceanography.

Remote Sensing - Participants will use satellite imagery of Mars and other resources to identify and interpret geologic features, answer questions, or solve problems.

E3.4 Earthquakes and Volcanoes Remote Sensing - Participants will use satellite imagery of Mars and other resources to identify and interpret geologic features, answer questions, or solve problems.
