understand that the Universe may be different in the future; and understand there are some difficulties in predicting the future of the Universe understand that problems in measuring distances to and motion of distant objects mean that the future of the Universe cannot be accurately predicted understand why problems measuring the distances to and motion of distant objects and the mass of the Universe cause uncertainty in predicting its ultimate fate recall that the oldest on Earth are about 4 thousand million years old understand that the Earth is older than its oldest rocks explain the implications of the Earth being older than its oldest rocks describe some rock processes taking today and what they suggest about the past explain how and rock processes seen today provide evidence for past changes understand and compare how rocks and rock processes seen today provide evidence for past changes recall that continental land masses are moving very slowly and that this was described by Wegener in his theory of continental drift explain how Wegener’s theory of continental drift was developed and modified understand implications of Wegener’s theory of continental drift and why geologists at first rejected it understand that heating of the core causes convection in the mantle, and seafloor spreading understand the causes of seafloor spreading, and what the magnetisation of seafloor rocks can tell us understand that earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building understand how moving tectonic plates cause
