KS4 Earth and atmosphere Learning Objectives Pupils should be able to: label the basic structure of the earth describe how people used to think that mountains and valleys were formed (the ‘Shrinking Earth’ hypothesis) state that the outer layer if the Earth is made up of tectonic plates list the reasons to support plate tectonics as a theory state why the tectonic plates move list what happens at plate boundaries name the gases that probably made up the Earth’s early atmosphere list the major events that formed today’s atmosphere state how oxygen entered the Earth’s atmosphere list the main gases in the atmosphere and the approximate percentage composition of the atmosphere list the noble gases and state some uses describe the main parts of the carbon cycle state that burning fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere use their skills to explain why scientists cannot accurately predict when earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will occur use their skills to explain and evaluate the effects of human activities on the atmosphere Back to Teaching Rota
