  1. Plate Tectonics Geological History SCIENCEGRADE SEVEN – EARTH MATTERS Earth Matters Topographic Maps Faulting Geological Features Earthquakes Rock Cycle • Vocabulary: • All 6-8 Process Vocabulary plus: • Earthquake • Erosion • Fault • Floodplain • Geological Time Scale • Glacier • Igneous Rock • Metamorphic Rock • Mineral • Mountain • Rock Cycle • Sedimentary Rock • Tectonic Plates • Valley • Volcano • Weathering Volcanoes • Essential Understandings: • The geological history of the Earth can be divided into major time periods which are characterized by distinct life forms. • Rocks, landscape, minerals, quarries, trap rock ridges and earthquakes are all geological features. These features influence land use and consequently the lives of the people who live here. • Topographic maps are constructed using contour lines, and they give us a visual layout of the elevation of our land. • Heat flow and movements within the Earth cause the rock cycle, plate tectonics and faulting, as well as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
