K: Explain how soil is formed.
K: Describe how different forces of erosion change landforms.
K: Describe the various types of gravity caused mass movements.
R: Compare and contrast evidence of constructive and destructive landform change.
R: Evaluate the effects of modifications to erosion systems.
R: Analyze the effects of various manmade changes to systems involving landform change.
PS: Demonstrate how modifications to a system can result in different erosion and
Deposition outcomes.
