Virginia SOL GEO.7

Investigate how weathering, erosion, and deposition processes shape Earth's surface landforms.

Study GEO.7 with SOL PrepBack to Earth Science II Geology

What students need to be able to do

  • Develop and use a model to explain how agents of weathering, erosion, and deposition continually shape landforms.
  • Plan and conduct an investigation about how variables influence rates of weathering, erosion, and deposition.
  • Identify a problem and propose a solution related to weathering, erosion, and/or deposition.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how Virginia's landscape has changed over geologic history due to weathering, erosion, and deposition.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how one change to Earth's surface can create feedback mechanisms affecting other Earth systems.
