Science TAKS Need to Know
2. TAKS Need to Know 2 Changes in the Earth over time
3. TAKS Need to Know 3 Two types of Weathering Mechanical
Rocks break into smaller pieces by physical means –
Water, ice, wind, gravity, organisms & changing temperatures Chemical
Rocks break into smaller pieces by chemical reactions – Air, water, acid & salts react with minerals in rocks to form new substances
4. TAKS Need to Know 4 Erosion The movement of particles from one location to another is erosion
Weathered particles of rock are transported by gravity, living organisms, water, glaciers & wind.
5. TAKS Need to Know 5 Deposition The settling (depositing) of eroded particles as sediments wherever they are transported by wind or water.
6. TAKS Need to Know 6 Rock Cycle
7. TAKS Need to Know 7
8. TAKS Need to Know 8 Plate Tectonics
9. TAKS Need to Know 9 Plate boundaries Tectonic plates slowly collide against one another along plate boundaries. Sections of the plates may break off and be pushed down, up, or to the side. Mountain ranges, ocean trenches, earthquakes & volcanic activity are all common along plate boundaries.

13. TAKS Need to Know 13 All the land that drains into a specific body of water.
Groundwater and surface water both contribute to the water in a watershed.
Surface water becomes groundwater by soaking into the sand and soil or by traveling through cracks in rock. http://www.bellmuseum.org/distancelearning/watershed/watershed2.html
