In this unit we will discuss the basics of the lithosphere and processes that affect the lithosphere including types of rocks, the rock cycle, soil types, weathering, and erosion.
Statement of Inquiry: Soil sustainability is directly related to human interaction with the transfer and transformation of the lithosphere.
Factual: What are the processes that change the face of our planet?
Conceptual: How do the different processes shape our planet? How do humans interfere with these processes? How is change an inevitable process?
Debatable: Is human interference in Earth systems justified?
