// Given certain earth materials (soils, rocks or minerals) use physical properties to sort, classify, and describe them. // |||| **// ESS1 (5-8) INQ+ POC –1 //**
 * ** ESS1 - The earth and earth materials as we know them today have developed over long periods of time, through continual change processes. ** ||

Use geological evidence provided to support the idea that the Earth’s crust/lithosphere is composed of plates that move.

Provided with geologic data (including movement of plates) on a given locale, predict the likelihood for an earth event (e.g., volcanoes, mountain ranges, islands, earthquakes).
