  2. What do you remember from 2nd Semester of 7th Grade Earth Science 2nd Semester Final Review E.8.A.1 Students know seasons are caused by variations in the amounts of the Sun’s energy reaching Earth’s surface due to the planet’s axial tilt. E/S E.8.A.2 Students know how the processes involved in the water cycle affect climatic patterns. E/S E.8.A.3 Students know the properties that make water an essential component of the earth system. E/S E.8.A.4 Students understand the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, emphasizing the role of the atmosphere in Earth’s weather and climate. I/S E.8.A.5 Students know the difference between local weather and regional climate.
