Description

Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock)

Mastery Evidence

✓ Give an example of a quick change to Earth's surface like a volcanic eruption
✓ Give an example of a slow change to Earth's surface like erosion by wind or water
✓ Compare quick and slow changes and explain the difference

Assessment Prompt

If you point out a cliff being worn away by waves, can your child explain that this happens slowly, while a volcanic eruption or earthquake changes the land quickly?
