Frameworks

Standard: 9.2.4

Represent real-world and mathematical situations using equations and inequalities involving linear, quadratic, exponential and nth root functions. Solve equations and inequalities symbolically and graphically. Interpret solutions in the original context.

Standard: 9.3.1.1

The relationships among earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, fossil deposits, rock layers and ocean features provide evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

Standard: 9.3.1.3

By observing rock sequences and using fossils to correlate the sequences at various locations, geologic events can be inferred and geologic time can be estimated.

Standard: 9.3.1

Calculate measurements of plane and solid geometric figures; know that physical measurements depend on the choice of a unit and that they are approximations.

Standard: 9.3.2.1

The Earth system has internal and external sources of energy, which produce heat and drive the motion of material in the oceans, atmosphere and solid earth.

Standard: 9.3.2.2

Global climate is determined by distribution of energy from the sun at the Earth's surface.

Standard: 9.3.2.3

The cycling of materials through different reservoirs of the Earth’s system is powered by the Earth’s sources of energy.
