Earth Science
In this unit we will be studying the forces that shape our earth. From the convection currents of magma inside the Earth to the erosion on the surface of Earth we will investigate the things that have shaped and continue to shape our Earth. Some of the main topics that will be covered include convection currents, plate tectonics, earthquakes and tsunamis, erosion, and human impact on the Earth.
