Students know the evidence from geological studies of Earth and other planets suggest that the early Earth was
very different from Earth today.
Students know evidence for the dramatic effects that asteroid impacts have had in shaping the surface of
planets and their moons and in mass extinctions of life on Earth.
Students know how Earth’s climate has changed over time, corresponding to changes in Earth’s geography,
atmospheric composition, and other factors, such as solar radiation and plate movement.
Students know how the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere has evolved over geologic time and know the
effect of outgassing, the variations of carbon dioxide concentration, and the origin of atmospheric oxygen.
Students know the resources of major economic importance in California and their relation to California’s
geology.
Students know the principal natural hazards in different California regions and the geologic basis of those
hazards.
Students know the importance of water to society, the origins of California’s fresh water, and the relationship
between supply and need.
Students know how to analyze published geologic hazard maps of California and know how to use the map’s
information to identify evidence of geologic events of the past and predict geologic changes in the future.
