• Students can describe the evolution of landforms and geologic structures in the context of constructive and/or destructive geologic processes
• Describe how weathering, mass wasting, and erosion are geologically destructive forces
• Use material and motion to classify a mass-wasting event
• Identify different forms of mass wasting and correlate different triggers with real-life mass wasting events
