  16. Everything we use comes from the Earth Particularly in the form of natural resources. Most provided through geologic knowledge. Construction - cement, concrete and asphalt Fuel, light and heat - oil, gas and coal Water Prediction and avoidance of hazards, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, landslides, erosion.

  19. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 2. Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

  20. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 3. Earth is a complex system of interacting rock, water, air, and life.

  21. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 4. Earth is continuously changing.

  22. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 5. Earth is the water planet.

  23. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 6. Life evolves on a dynamic Earth and continuously modifies Earth.

  24. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 7. Humans depend on Earth for resources.

  25. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 8. Natural hazards pose risks to humans.

  26. Earth Science Literacy Principles • BIG IDEA 9. Humans significantly alter the Earth.
