BIG IDEA: How do the earth’s processes and forces affect the lithosphere?NCEEn2.1 FOCUS QUESTION: How do the rock cycle, p late tectonics, volcanoes and earthquakes impact the lithosphere? NCEEn2.1.1 Support Q 2.1.1 ROCK CYCLE: How does the rock cycle relate to the cycling of minerals? Support Q 2.1.1 B,C PLATE TECTONICS How do Earth’s tectonic plates interact? Support Q 2.1.3VOLCANOES What types of boundaries create volcanoes and why? Support Q 2.1.2 Earthquakes How can earthquake locations and severity be predicted? What do I need to know?
