Obtain, evaluate, and communicate 7.l Environment information about how life on Earth 7.2 responds to and shapes systems. 7.3 Natural Resources Earth’s a. Describe how life has responded to major Minerals 7.4 events in history (e.g., major Water Earth’s climatic change, tectonic events) through Energy extinction, migration, and/or adaptation. Conservation b. Describe how biological processes have caused major changes in systems Earth’s through geologic time (e.g., nutrient cycling, atmospheric composition, and soil formation). c. Investigate and communicate how humans depend on land and water Earth’s resources, which are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geological and environmental processes. d. Analyze and interpret data that relates changes in global climate to natural and anthropogenic modification of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. REVIEW FINAL EXAM
