Essential
Standard:
EEn.2.1 Explain how processes and forces affect the lithosphere.
Clarifying objective:
EEn.2.1.1 Explain how the rock cycle impacts the lithosphere.
EEn.2.1.3 Explain how natural actions such as weathering, erosion (wind, water and gravity), and soil formation affect Earth’s surface.
EEn.2.1.1
• Explain the rock cycle in enough detail to relate the cycling of materials - formation and destruction of the three major rock types to the forces responsible: physical and chemical weathering, heat and pressure, deposition, foliation and bedding. The forms of energy that drive the rock cycle include heat and mechanical (gravitational potential) energy.
