Use information to create a presentation such as a Power Point. Create a diagram of processes large rocks and sediments go through to become different types of rocks and relate to surface and subsurface events and landform formations.

SC.7.E.6.4: Explain and give examples of how physical evidence supports scientific theories that Earth has evolved over geologic time due to natural processes. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Create a diagram of multiple rocks layers that illustrates physical evidence such as fault, extrusion, intrusion and index fossils and explain how the evidence supports scientific theories that Earth has evolved over time. Evaluate layers of rock and determine how rock layers have changed over time. Interpret a diagram of rock layers and identify examples of physical evidence that supports the statement that Earth has evolved over geologic time due to natural processes.
