Learning Objectives

• Students can explain the rock cycle, differentiate among the three types of rocks, and use texture and composition to identify common rocks and their origins
• Students can describe the role weathering, mass wasting, and erosion play in shaping Earth’s surface and can provide and/or identify examples of each of these processes
• Students can describe the evolution of landforms and geologic structures in the context of constructive and/or destructive geologic processes
• Describe the processes that form different types of sedimentary rocks
• Use texture, fossils, and structures to interpret environmental conditions
• Use texture and composition to identify common sedimentary rocks and their origins (depositional environment)
