Earth’s crust consists of major and minor tectonic plates that move relative to each other. A combination of constructive and destructive geologic processes formed Earth’s surface. Evidence of the dynamic changes of Earth’s surface through time is found in the geologic record. Life Science Diversity of species occurs through gradual processes over many generations. Fossil records provide evidence that changes have occurred in number and types of species. Reproduction is necessary for the continuation of every species. The characteristics of an organism are a result of inherited traits received from parent(s). Physical Science Forces between objects act when the objects are in direct contact or when they are not touching. Forces have magnitude and direction. There are different types of potential energy
