Needs first
- Rock layers and Earth's history
Interpreting maps of Earth surface features is enriched by understanding cross-section views of geological strata and layers
- Types of rocksREQUIRED
Interpreting patterns of Earth's geological features requires rock type and erosion vocabulary
- Shapes of land and waterREQUIRED
Must model landforms and water bodies before analysing map patterns of Earth's features
- Erosion and weathering
Understanding weathering/erosion helps explain patterns in Earth's features
