Document Summary
It"s the study of the earth and related processes. The goal is to use science which means to make observations, ask questions, and use imagination. Observing the view of north america and the surrounding ocean floor . We will learn this later because features are controlled by. Different elevations, depths of seafloors, mountain ranges, variance of colors (vegetation), the shelf. Everything is interconnected; there is no linear way. Important because it"s where we get our resources (energy and materials) Iron mines in very old rocks record change in earth"s early: copper mines much younger are related to mountain building, what controls the distribution of resources? atmosphere in west (active tectonic plates, rock times are controlled by age. Controls landforms (important ways like rivers and then aesthetically: continents vs. Ocean: complexities are based on different geological histories, observations, boundary between the colors is a current shoreline, some parts of seafloor are simple and others are complex.
